Decided to ring up the Mortally Offended one. He took up the receiver but did not speak to me. I, silly creature rang off only to ring him up, so long as the automation didn’t keep, or rather swallow up my money. Two hard hits for it’s pain. I might have known that this would be the result. At noon Vincent rang me up to ask if I would go to cinema with him. Of course I did. He told me how hurt he was when he received my letter at New Years Eve cin. ticket price included. It is not a bit logical of him after all he started this equality theory with me. This only shows I was wrong with Leo too. How hateful. I sent him a note and made an appointment with him for Monday or Tuesday. I wonder if he’ll come. He would be perfectly right not to. I tried to make my note as effective as possible. But I have some misgivings. I have the awful feeling of only making myself ridiculous tomorrow. Well, I suppose, I deserve it. –

Vincent was a dear like usually, besides I believe he was envious to know what was the matter with me. Anyway he didn’t behave like a stoic at all though again this is not logical of him, for according to his words he is a womanhater. According to his next words again he is nothing of the sort, so I suppose he is an occasional stoic only. I would like to shake him sometimes and he would deserve it. At the end of the film (Orgonavirágzás - Palace) when everyone was most moved he made the cynical remark loud enough for two rows in front and behind to hear, “now she’ll have a stroke” which caused general hilarity. At love scenes too he is awful. With this assumed blareness he reminds me of myself not so long ago. We are much alike in everything else too. Taste and principles + thoughts, sometimes he makes me quite frightens me.
