This is just heaven, though I can't bear it for the glorious family friend now incarcerated with disgusting food and probably 'fun' activities every afternoon.

Nancy Mitford on Violet Trefusis, speculating about gravestone: 'Here lies Violet Trefusis, and lies and lies and lies'.

I know! Nancy very funny about our Violet. Food parcels are being planned and more frequent visits arranged, because she told me “I LOVE parties”, so parties there must be. She does great eyebrows and we discuss makeup, which she does brilliantly “I don’t like that powdery effect at all, most unattractive”.

I loved reading this. And, while unloading and reloading bookcases is tedious, it's sometimes thrilling in terms of finding books that have fallen down the back, or ones you'd forgotten you had!
