'WE MET young Hipplewayne in Florence. Isn't it dreadful about him? Being warned off, I mean. And oh, Garry, he has got so much money that there was no need for him to do anything so awful. He was very nice about you and told me that you had warned him. He is naturally supremely miserable, drinks a great deal more than is necessary for him -- he and Willie are quite good friends -- and gambles a tremendous lot on cards. Wenda will be in England by the time you get this letter. I am staying over in Paris bring her dresses across for Ascot. Willie is staying to look after me! Isn't that funny? But perhaps you don't see the funny side of it.'
Molly was a good correspondent. She had constituted herself the chronicler of the family. Garry had an uneasy feeling sometimes that her very conscientiousness and industry were subtle reproaches.
