extracts from a scapped book; part the third
1月15日 「Tour Diary」
Deciding to take a vacation? Now where can you go? Ireland? A bit too cold this time of the year. Paris?
No.
A week at the cricket in Johannesburg. England touring. Readers will be spared the tedium of my memoirs; I confine myself here to the salient points:
Morning session. Arrived at Wanderers for second day of fourth Test. Conditions smashing. Thermoplyae not in attendance, contrary to dream as recorded in {d0×9B5:TERMISFORBIDDEN}.
Lunch. Can now confirm the thermophantasm’s assessment: J.P. Duminy is, in fact, not hot.
Afternoon session. Inclement weather; remainder of day’s play called off twenty minutes prior to tea break. Praise THE LORD for having mercy on the boys. Returned to rooms at embassy; telegram waiting with tea. Monsignor Pasco may raise an eyebrow at the allusion, but what sprang to mind was the interclerical salutation of the Greek schismatics.
Hotmodal is in our midst.
He is and ever shall be.
I confess I’m rather bemused by the great man’s invitation. I fear I’ve as much interest in administration as I do in wikis [?women].
Be seeing you.
