We had recently been to the London Palladium to see Dorothy Squires together, and apparently George had accused me of just going in order to patronize him.
So it seems we had a bit of a row about the concert because I was not keen on the songs Dorothy sung, and George had accused me of only going to patronize him, saying that we had little in common.
I mention another theater visit to see an impressionist called Charles Pierce, which I say I did enjoy very much, ‘despite the fact that I didn’t know all the characters he was portraying.’ It seems this was in response to a complaint from George that we never, or rarely, went out together nowadays.
