I came to Wimbledon for the night because (expecting to be away from town for a week) I had used up all my food before going away. My lectures consist of Haverhill and Diss on Friday & Saturday respectively and, of course, Ipswich last Monday. Miss Chick is being a bit dotty, I think, for, as you know, she specifically said I should not return: but, reasonably enough Thomas at Cambridge had only arranged for accommodation for Monday, Friday, & Saturday evening. So here I am back for Tuesday through Thursday.
I was expecting to lecture about Hogarth at Ipswich and prepared accordingly (tho' of course I had the slides for the other lecture in my bag - a bag heavy with one week's needs). It turned out - 10 minutes before the lecture that the subject was Old Masters & Modern Art. So I just had time to unpack and arrange the slides and improvise accordingly: it was not too bad, I think. An audience of 70 - mostly the local art school.
There are one or 2 Gainsboroughs in the local museum as well as a great deal of Tudor & early Stuart woodwork and mantelpieces. It is in a C16th house of considerable charm. I was shown over by the curator (70 years old) with Thomas who murmured 'Amazing' and 'Yes', alternating these with 'Really'. Thomas has one arm, a masculine wife, is a bit queer, and loves looking up old Scottish names - or any old names.
