Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Thursday 30th September ?Ivanhoe? (Walter Scott) Late work still the order of the ? night. All is still confusion and chaos. My life at present is a tale of mugging away at my desk. I read a book on my way down town. Have a little brisk conversation with Smith in the luncheon hour ? if he is in town, or a walk round the book shops if he is not. Another little talk with Pat over our evening coffee. A few laughs during the day at Blowers? profanity or Lauson?s buffoonery. Then home to a meal, a short read, a little writing and bed. I seldom see the children except on Sundays.'
