Transcription Notes
Having practically finished off our work here discuss next move. Maud advises Pineville for a week or more with a piano to harmonize songs for next week, where we can recuperate during the heat. I am still very slack and generally seedy with much asthma & lumbago. But Pineville can’t take us in, we learn by telephone! So we decide to risk Manchester, but alas Mrs Potter has no room for us! Our luck has not turned yet! Mrs Broughton & Mrs Poff turn up at 12.30 and I get some songs but nothing very exciting. The gatherings so far have been dismally disappointing and I am all for a dash on Manchester whatever the risk! Maud gradually comes round to this view more especially after her evening out with the Hotel Proprietor Beale, who escorts her to the Movies and then whispers sweet nothings at the Drug Store till a late hour.Location
