My little holiday in Zebegény was quite nice. Weather cool, but it just came in time as I couldn’t bathe, it cleared by Sunday when we had a jolly dip. The place is most picturesque, one can make lovely walks and excursions. The village is very pretty with little gardens full of flowers, crooked…

On Friday I went to St. Margareth Island to an evening performance with Pertile the Italian singer. A ballet followed. It was Irene who produced the tickets, she rang me up in the morning. We were still in the most awful mess as the painter has not finished, but I didn’t mind and made her sit down…

This morning I heared both from Margareth and Dr. Laki; I don’t know what am I coming to but I had quite a queer sort of feeling when I saw his letter. It is the silliest of things to let myself go like this when most probably I mean nothing at all to him. Why should I we hardly knew each other,…

Yesterday morning I had to do in town on business. Ran up to Cica’s too which wasn’t exactly business and we bought a sweet little porcelain figure as a wedding present for the Pálffys. Was in the Bank too, not much chance for Swiss money, which means that my plans won’t come off again. In the…

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.

Went to see Margareth this afternoon. The kids are sweet, she is getting on quite well as a mistress of her house. We had quite a talk. If it comes to it things sound quite different when they are talked about than when only thought of. Told her how I’ve been let down and how I mean to let down…

I went to see Margareth in the New St. John’s Hospital. The second little son is born. I didn’t like the room, but the corridors, the entrance hall + the building on the whole is nice. It should be the other way around. She is alright, the kid just an ordinary yelling red baby. I told her there’ll…

Mother much better, but now Father in bad condition. Went to see Margareth in the afternoon in Budakeszi. The place is dusty. Her husband on leave too, we had a gay time. The kid sweet. Weather hot. Leon sent the car to fetch me, I was taken to their place in order to fetch him and give him a little…

Yesterday Vin. ‘phoned to tell that Mr. Kun left the Clinic. We arranged to go together to an auction. I went to fetch him from the Clinic, was a bit late but that didn’t prevent him from staying longer than usually. Again I can’t describe it by anything less than love making. I can’t understand…

We are very much upset. The Austrian president was forced to abdicate, Seyss Inquart asked the Germans to go into Austria. The man is mad. I don’t think I’m mistaken if I think his name will be coupled with the most appropriate adjective of traiter. Maybe though that he is only a tool in the hands…
