Major Falcon is really quite a delightful gentleman for an Englishman.
I mean he really spends quite a lot of money and we had quite a
delightful luncheon and dinner in the Ritz until I thought I saw the
gentleman who upset me and I am so upset I think I will get dressed and
go up on the deck and see if it really is the one I think it is. I mean
there is nothing else for me to do as I have finished writing in my
diary for today and I have decided not to read the book of Ettiquette
as I glanced through it and it does not seem to have anything in it
that I would care to know because it wastes quite a lot of time telling
you what to call a Lord and all the Lords I have met have told me what
to call them and it is generally some quite cute name like Coocoo whose
real name is really Lord Cooksleigh. So I will not waste my time on
such a book. But I wish I did not feel so upset about the gentleman I
think I saw.
April 13th:
It really is the gentleman I thought I saw. I mean when I found out it
was the gentleman my heart really stopped. Because it all brought back
things that anybody does not like to remember, no matter who they are.
So yesterday when I went up on the deck to see if I could see the
gentleman and see if it really was him, I met quite a delightful
gentleman who I met once at a party called Mr. Ginzberg. Only his name
is not Mr. Ginzberg any more because a gentleman in London called Mr.
Battenburg, who is some relation to some king, changed his name to Mr.
Mountbatten which Mr. Ginzberg says really means the same thing after
all. So Mr. Ginsberg changed his name to Mr. Mountginz which he really
thinks is more aristocratic. So we walked around the deck and we met
the gentleman face to face and I really saw it was him and he really
saw it was me. I mean his face became so red it was almost a picture.
So I was so upset I said good-bye to Mr. Mountginz and I started to
rush right down to my room and cry. But when I was going down the
steps, I bumped right into Major Falcon who noticed that I was upset.
So Major Falcon made me go to the Ritz and have some champagne and tell
him all about it.
