Brother + Father went to take over the new car and I went to have my passport renewed. The friend to whom I went was out so it had to be postponed.

As it was 1^st Friday and last Cong. meeting I went there, but it was so late that I had to take a taxi. It was a good meeting. Wanted to go to the Dr’s, but he wasn’t in by the time I got there. Anyway at least he knows it is not my fault.

We planned to go to the swimming bath with the little English girl next door but she came I to say she couldn’t come so I went alone. Asked Cica to come with me but she couldn’t. We went part of the way together. There were only a fey in the Champagne Bath, and not many in the other either. Am I believe Estonian party was there. Weather very lovely, enjoyed it. Didn’t go to the Dr’s on that account.

Whit Sunday passed with my sister + family here. The kids were alright. Went to ? in the evening. Expected Iren on Monday, yesterday, but perhaps she didn’t get my card as she didn’t come. So went to the cinema alone. A pity I waited for her, it upset my usual programme, of going to the cemetery. The new maid Martha is to come too she is to stay here until the 1^st. Weather is cold, raining and windy.

Went to buy a few things in the afternoon. Medicine unexpectedly expensive consequence had to run up to Marietta’s to borrow some money. Shameless. Dear Michael, it seems is getting better. Slowly though. Bought a little Sacred Heart statue. Rather late at the Dr’s, met the bro-in-law there again. Afraid, shocked dear Dr. Laki (?) again, it amused me to a great extent. First when getting or rather fishing out the medicine the statute get in my hands and of course I showed it to him. His curiosity was soothed but not in the way he must have expected. Again when departing told him I wanted to ask him a private sort of a question again his curiosity roused. It was a most amusing situation. He held the door close instead of opening it, but when I actually put the question which was if he went to conf. and the Holy Communion at the night’s oration it was such an anticlimax to what he must have expected that he very quickly opened the door and nearly threw me out. Of course he wasn’t and it was for those I wanted him to take part at that night’s affair. The nasty little chap. I’m afraid I told latter in so many words. No wonder I dislike the man somehow his dirty little s? can be felt. Wouldn’t marry that sort if he would be the last man on earth. Afraid though same occurred to him. Of course with my beautiful newly cleaned conscience I can’t say I hate a person but I certainly would otherwise. Though who knows in that case perhaps I’d much rather prefer it to be such and not superior to mine. Suppose he is in the same condition. Now let me that over. –

The piece in the Nation Theatre (VII. Gergely) was very well performed, young Timár played marvellously, but the piece itself was not exactly good. Too heavy for a short evening and yet a short or rather even a long piece wasn’t sufficient for much difficult problems.

What a funny day. Mother was called to the ‘phone twice by relations who meant to come to see her but actually didn’t come. An old admirer rang me up in the afternoon, strictly on business though still our talk was rather mixed with unconscious like streaks. Phoned to Dr. L. later and we made an appointment for tomorrow at last. Was at a Lettish lecture in the Külügyi, which was rather good. In German. The gent. couldn’t pronounce the ö-s and ü-s (i). It sounded funny. The end was the nicest though, met Mrs Berényi and dear old colleogue Fayer. We were both openly enchanted. The talk which followed was the most interesting since ages, about Germany, Hitler + Rosenberg + their ideologies. As both Mrs B. + Fayer are stout Catholics I was glad to be on of the talkers. Fayer seems to be flying about the continent like a wandering Jew. He is much nicer than he used to be, a cosmopolitan and it was awfully nice to talk to him. I’m so glad to have met the man always liked him. Apparently he was glad too.

We went to the cinema (Nagy keringő) with Cica. I lent her my black coat as she was to go to the burial of Béla bá, Father. I have known the old gent. too. Sorry. Lending a bit awkward though as exactly today, wanted to start wearing it. – Was late for gymn found exactly meant to be shown off. Such a pity.

Margareth phoned in the morning asking if she could come. Of course I was glad to see her here at last. It seems it does Mother good too to speak with someone sometimes. Martha was here in the morning too.

Dear Dr. L. was there on Saturday night. I’m so glad. What he can’t understand is how on earth did I manage think exactly of him on Saturday afternoon. Can’t decide if it wouldn’t be best from pedagogic point of view to tell him he wasn’t the only one. Or shall I let him go on imagining that by some wonderful chance I remembered him. Judging by other men if he wasn’t ? it he’ll be vain enough to think it means something. Well, well. I’m not going to be troubled by any silly affair in future.

The Mass of the Archbishop this morning. Arrived with a grand detour but had a good place. Not my own actually. Didn’t meet Marietta so phoned her on account of the afternoon procession. Went there armed with Mac and umbrella + low heeled shoes. All these came in very useful. Met the Czákys too and Feri bá’ when arriving. We sat at the seats of the Press. A great downpour came very soon but all the people stayed heroically. It was a grand feeling again.

Dr Czapik spoke at this meeting. Excellent both from the view of point of contents and speech. Clear, logical, interesting to the last. We were most awfully proud of him and glad about it. This was a good meeting altogether. Mrs Hajos came with Marietta these last two days. – Mentioned this evenings Oration for men to Ervin who meant to go tonight with friends. To my surprise he didn’t need much persuading and they went there in the evening. As I meant to tell Dr. Cz. about it yesterday, but forgot to rang him up in the afternoon. Found out he was there last year but didn’t know it was to be to night. He sounded most surprized and touched and grateful. Couldn’t imagine how on earth I thought of him. He was so grateful and moved that it quite embarrassed me. Evidently such altruistic traits as simple unselfishness or (empty space) do not show very clearly in my beautiful character. He promised to go if possible with the result that I was awfully anxious all the time that all should. I’m sorry to say my efforts to persuade Marietta to persuade his dear brother were in vain. Same happened at Gyula bá, but his dear little boy was out too.
