6 January

Indoors, indoors. I think I will be perfectly frantic if I do not get out to see Peter. Whatever must he be doing without me? He must be quite bereft. I myself am so bored that I risked my health and took tea with Miss Prism. She has been reading Mudie's latest 3-volume novel. I believe she may not have been really ill after all. She *likes* Mudie's 3-volume novels *!!!* Uncle Jack back but entirely silent on where he has been. He is growing entirely *mysterious!*
