She\nexpects to enter the Order, as they put it, and\nbe a Buddhist nun. Now this is not exactly xxxxxxx\ncheerful news for me,as you can imagine. The one\nhopeful point is that,for various reasons she has\nexplained,it looks like being a somewhat slow\noperation. The man who rents her garage for car\nrepairs says he thinks it will take a year. On\nthe other hand,it may all happen sooner than\nthat. Anyway,he\u2019 s safe. I\u2019ve told a few friends\nthat I\u2019m in the market for accommodation. A bit\nunsettling but I expect it will work out.\n\nLetter from cousin Walter today. He\u2019s looking\nforward to meeting and laying on a lot of social\nactivities for the ed of the SHOOTING TIMES when\nhe goes to Dublin for the Horse Show - the biggest\nevent in the Dublin social calendar. Walter xxxxx\nstrikes me as being a shrewd boy - also as being\npretty extraverted. His letters are very chatty\nand lively,and he gives me the impression he\nmight work up a nice journalistic line for himself\nin the years to come. The Greacens come in various\nshapes and sizes. Like the Stanfords?\n\nHerta comes Fri evg. I\u2019ve just looked up\nher last letter to get this phrase:\"Do you\nrecognise your attraction on me ?\",f I find her\nEnglish sometimes more moving than if were formally\ncorrect. Actually,it\u2019s pretty good,esp for someone\nwho has only made a few short visits here. Nobody\ncan learn a language properly without living some\ntime in the country where it\u2019s spoken.\n\nI think that\u2019s about all. My greetings to Jack. Love to you both -\nRobert\n","Type":"Text"}}]
