Mrs. Dale writes:
I decided to sack Monument but in the end I hadn't the heart; he presented me with strawberries and I promised to take him to the Rose Show! We met Sally and Martin Harvill there, and now they have both gone to Rome on business and have been able to see Jenny. Jim seems to be quite serious about going on holiday without me and I felt really indignant when I heard that he had asked Ian McNeil to go with him. Jim seemed to think I was making a fuss about nothing and I felt too hurt to remind him that he would be away for our wedding anniversary on August 1.
