Mrs. Dale writes:
Jim wants me to sack Monument and have Mrs. Maggs mornings only-he says we must cut down, but I must say I dislike the prospect of telling them! Lionel Smithson is delighted because Jim is keeping him as assistant. Mother is dreadfully upset-Johnnie Harvill turned Mr. Billings out of the antique shop, when she wasn't there, and he collapsed in the High Street and died from a heart-attack. Thank goodness there is one very surprising piece of news to distract her-Elsie is marrying Mr. Bonner on February I!
