<div>‘Nine bombs on Kew; 7 people killed in one house, a hotel crushed—but not a hair of Wattie's [Walter Lamb] head was touched. I know raids dont interest you when no one you know is killed, so I won't describe our night in the kitchen. Barbara was with us
and we all slept on the floor—We have mattresses laid there every night. Talking to the servants from 8 to 1.15 (as we did first time) is so boring—"but not so boring as a description" as you justly remark’</div>

<div style="font-size:10pt; font-family:tahoma; color:#000000; direction:ltr">I've just had a Christmas card from a friend in which he writes: "Dai Vaughan in his first-rate novel
<i>Non-return</i>, mentions VW's writing that the worst thing about going down the WW1 air-raid shelter was having to talk to the servants." He asks if I have a source.<br>
<br>
I don't but wonder if anyone on the list has. If she really did say it, I guess that it'll be in the diary (or maybe a letter). Anyone?<br>
