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,…

Such a surprise this morning. Had a letter from Gudrum in which he tells she is to be married on July 1st. She was a really nice girl, Margareth in blonde, and I was most thrilled. It seems they are brave enough to risk all sorts of chances, for neither of them has a job yet. In a way it is quite a…

Last Saturday I went up to Mrs. Árva’s for a fitting, took some of my dresses on Thursday. The blue coat was ready and very well done. It is collarless now. Had to wait for her for quite a while, had a good chat with their guest from the country, jus preparing for some exams. She is quite a nice…

The shock I meant to mention was this. Dr Laki (?) asked me if I know the latest at which I suggested the little *Maris* (?) then he told we must part. I had the sinking feeling that he was going to get married. What a mad idea to think of that at all an to be disappointed about it. I was ashamed of…

Same Sunday as usual. Church, cemetery, cinema. Against my will was driven into an awful row with poor Mother again. She really lacks all logic. It was she herself who advised me to go abroad as perhaps it will be impossible next year, and now she is as much against it as ever. Now that I registered…

The weather is really quite cold, I nearly froze when coming home from church. All these troubles of the Hauer family seem to get on my nerves. I was most awfully depressed all the morning as a matter of fact if I want to be quite open I really shed some true tears on account of the poor boy. Nearly…

Nothing special happened last week. Spoke with Cica on the phone once + promised to go to see her but didn’t, so far at least. On Thursday after the Dr diedas lecture went to see Marietta. She was out. It was quite funny. Met her brother when just going. We had a little talk with the family as I had…

On Monday the 6th little Ervin had a very high temperature on Tuesday too, it looked like pneumonia. On Tuesday morning I looked in to Cica’s, she was in bed having a slight attack of ‘flu. She told me long and terrible tales about the moral of “ladies” in the best society. At least in their crowd,…

The whole week passed in a whirl. Went to the Sophianeum on retreat. It was the best I had since the first with F. Bíró. Stayed in for the whole time on the third day only. Marietta, her goddaughter Miry (?) I + the christened Jewess were in the same company. We kept together. This young woman, the…

Went to a lecture on Elocution. It was grand fun. Really like playacting. I nearly had a fit. I’m going to the farther ones too. The man who is giving the lectures is still quite young, I expected him to be an elderly actor. There was about 30 of us men + women. Quite elderly ones too and some young…
