Content Description

It is impossible for him to come due to pressure of work. But he shall have a holiday, in Sicily. The big fresco is done, now he has odd jobs to complete. Herbert is home, Arthur is fugged by the Education Bill. He has persuaded Lady R. to take a break in Braunston.

Her letter reminded him of Egypt, which he loves, except Cairo, which he detests. The English ruin oriental simplicity.
