Herta has been singing your praises. I had a letter from Jack explaining why he couldn't come and xxxxxxxxx apologising The ram-in-the-thicket syndrome again at work. "Abraham looked up,and there he saw a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a sacrifice instead of his son." (Genesis,13-14,New Eng Bible). Mrs. Wechsler has decided not to go ahead with selling the house, on the strong advice of her son who xxx consulted a friend in the property business. She is now thinking in terms of next spring. Her resolve to go to the Tibetan Centre in Scotland remains of course— but she won't go at any price,as I had feared. Now you know I was moving heaven and earth to get that advt into THE TIMES xxx xx xxx xxx xx xx xx and it was due to go in next Monday. Yesterday I cancelled it and arranged for a refund. I.think the man behind the TIMES fiasco was my friend Sherap,the monk,with his 5hrs daily meditation. I told Herta this and she fears that I may be drawn into Buddhist monkhood. I told her I wpuld willingly be a monk if my zzzzzz Abbot/Lama allowed me to have a woman,preferably German. Arethusa arrives at midnight at Paddington. Have you had Joyce Cary's COCK JARVIS,an uncompleted novel ? What an enjoyable writer he was. An Ulsterman in origin Advice from WBY over Text Saturday, August 20, 2016 - 11:12
