The Legate’s Mass this morning. My seat though more expensive was worse than the previous one. – In the afternoon Martha came so I gave her my green membership card. I had grave pricks of conscience for being so selfish as to keep the excellent seat I had as a present from Anci for myself after…

I was most shocked. In spite of my hearty reassurances that I won’t go to Martha’s this afternoon Mother promised her that I would, when she phoned. The kids were rather bad and though M. returned early I came home late again. I nearly had a quarrel with Martha over different questions. If things go…

It is getting hot. My knee is hurting dreadfully and I think it is swollen. I’m afraid of “tetanus” not the nicest sort of death, if death is ever nice, and not the sweetest sort of feeling. I’m glad I went to conf. yesterday and made my about Vin. too before all this happened. It would be cowardly…

In town again, had to go to Martha’s too, so I had to cut the Red Cross affair. Received a free ticket from Malert (?). For Dad as I am to go on Sunday. Spoke with Vin. on the phone. A most unsatisfactory talk too. I’m afraid I was worse than ever and seem to have drawn out the worse from him too.…

Nora seems to be slightly better since a few days, as if getting over her lethargy sometimes. – Gymn a sad affair. The place small + stuffy. No shower of bath of any sort. A little hole for dressing and no air to speak of. Had to speak with L. on business. He swore from right to left how…

A lot to do in the office, people coming in one after the other, sometimes three at the same time. Really we ought to have two offices, one for waiting. Gizi ‘phoned too, asking about this evenings invitation to Martha’s. Told her to expect the worse on account of building begin in … . … (sic!) Was…

Went to confession again, though didn’t feel much like it. When do I, though? Spoke with the Farkasvölgyis on the phone, they arranged to go with Ervin in the country. Martha + kids here. Gyula looks a bit off colour. The kids quite nice and not such handful like they used to be. Somehow it is…

Met the K.s? on my way to church. Had a little discussion over Hitler. I’m tired of the man. Met Mrs. Farkasvölgyi afterwards. She is charming. Went to the Kamara (Kék róka) in the afternoon. Enjoyed the piece. Kiss F. was especially good in his part. Besides he stared at me most of the time. We sat…

This afternoon Vin. ’phoned at a most unexpected time to inquire why didn’t I go to see Ami, whom he went to see. She said I always kept my word. Too bad of Martha to have made all this fuss about my not going to see her. Poor Vin went to the Clinic on account of my visit only in spite of a sore…

Too lazy to get up early, went to the noon mass. A good walk to the cemetery and the church which intrigued me since long. It looked quite near the East Station but was a quarter of an hour’s distance quite near the first cross road leading home. – Went to Martha’s party a bit tired, managed to be…
