Dearest Sylvia:
I am so distressed to hear that your neuralgia is
back. I was afraid it might be when you said your
neck ached after the examination. All I can say is
what you said to me in your nice letter which I re-
ceived this morning - 'I hope you will rest and sleep
well'. And I see from the end of your letter that
the walk to the sea with Michael has not made any dif-
ference. Oh, Sylvia, I hope you are well by now.

I am glad that the Rectory Umbrella helped with the
journey and I need not tell you my feelings when you
say you read it on Sunday morning instead of going to
church. Good.

I had forgotten that Josette Day in part of La Belle
et al Bet wore her hair in a ring-bun, like yours. And
she has your hairline and neck. It was wonderful to
find these little confirmations outside the actual nar-
rative which is full of congenial allusions. I thought
it very poignant: the symbolised need of love in la
bete. Do you remember the duologues before the great
fire in which the Courtier imperceptibly vanquishes the
animal and then, later, in the glad, when a deer flashes,
and up go his ears and his shoulders hunch... And the
symbolism when la belle observes him guzzling water and
shaking himself: somehow Cocteau suggests teh action
might have shocked her and that it is important that it
doesn't. You see what is implied: compare it, solitary,
animal, with her father's careful preparation before sip-
ping the wine in the beast's palace, and the formal toast.
Oh, and lots more.

I went to Little Stanmore church yesterday and really
it was a treat. Verrio (pupils of), Belluci, and La-
guerre - all are represented, and there is one of the proud-
est 18th century monuments I have ever seen - to the Duke
of Chandos and his two wives. A lot of the information in
Whiffen's Stuart and Gerogian Churches is incorrect, how-
ever, as long talks with the Verger proved. he is a charm-
ing and witty old man and he tells a very funny story of
some Swiss Girls he showed round the church recently. They
came to the Mausoleum which is half marble, half wood painted
to resemble stone. He banged on the wooden portion and
(here he illustrated what he did) threw his voice most skill-
fully: 'what do you want' an old man's voice wheezed. And
then he scampered over to teh other side of teh room and
banged again: 'Now what is it' another voice squeaked.
The Swiss girls are firmly believed now that there are re-

is that what it's called?
