Another Interesting Letter
From London by Our Cor
respondent, Miss Graham
Feb: 10th
5 Montagu Square, London, Wl.
Dear Mr Vining,
Since last I wrote, London has
witnessed King George V’s funeral
with its accompanying splendour,
and now she has returned, at any
rate outwardly, to normal everyday
life. Gone are the vast silent crowds
which thronged her blackpennanted
streets, and gone the Kings and
the Princes and the Presidents.
The weather is fine but cold, with
a strong gusty wind, and even the
most hardened veterans find it al
most impossible to walk across
Berkeley Square without being
blown into Gunter’s at the corner,
to regale themselves with cups of
hot chocolate.
If one is brave enough to face
the open spaces of Kensington
Gardens, one can see a whole fleet
of model yachts battling across
the Round Pond, with their proud
owners getting the tips of their
toes pleasantly wet in the waves.
In many places skating has be
gun, but as yet, only the ducks
are allowed on the Serpentine in
Hyde Park, and they, poor things,
are about the only ones who don’t
appreciate it. They look very huf
fy indeed.
The plays this month are good,
and the movies bad. Noel Coward’s
six one-act plays are a big draw,
(he does them three at a time)
and it seems that either one hates
them passionately, or likes them
enormously. It is impossible, in
fact, to talk quietly about them to
anybody.
