Also usually present is a professional mushroom grower called Mac who is what is known as a character; he used to live in the same house as Bertie Rodgers in Wapping \u2013 'Many's the time,' he says, 'I used to threaten to put him in the river \u2013 it was only a joke of course.' Last time I was in Cambridge for the 3rd of my 6 Clark Lectures, I met Harden with a Dominican friend. She should be over in Ireland by now. I said to one of the Cambridge dons that I was frightened because they all knew so much. 'Oh you needn't be,' he said, 'We rather like people coming in from outside with their woodnotes wild.' I haven't seen Bimba for some weeks though there is plenty of evidence in Aldbury as she left a mass of brushes, paint and old clothes there. Hedli was over here but I didn't see her; I gather she stayed with Bertie in the country. Bertie by the way is talking of going to live in Cambridge so that he'll have people to talk to (?=!) I'm supposed to go to Dublin towards the end of May so might come via the North and see you. But I fear I couldn't make Sam's opening in April (too many deadlines). Dennys H should be over soon though. Love to you both, Louis.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
