21 February

Directly Uncle Jack returned this morning, I interrogated him about Ernest's activities. He was not amused. I explained that I know all the details of Ernest's past indiscretions, which is a lie, of course, but I thought it would help my case when I suggested that he take me with him when he goes to London. After all these lessons in Political Economy, I am sure I could reform any revolutionary. Either that or learning more about revolution could make Political Economy *so much* more *stimulating*!
