How curious, Stuart.
Where and when was this recorded?
Cheers--

“Another theft to-day. This woman—obviously a lady even tho’ she looked as if
she’d been dragged through a hedge backwards—was trying on a jacket. The daft
thing put her handbag under her mangy fur coat for a minute and then turned
back. Of course it had gone. We had seen you-know-who, but it was too late to
catch her. This Mrs. Woolf doesn’t have an account with Marshall & Snelgrove’s,
so we couldn’t advance her anything officially. More fool me, but I took pity on
the poor soul and lent her ten shillings. Hope she doesn’t lose my address—she
seemed as if she’d lose her head if it wasn’t screwed on! Talk about vague and
odd-looking. Anyway, I found her in the tel. book. She’s something to do with
publishing in Tavistock Sq., apparently.”
