May 16th - addendum

Leslie is sleeping and I, Gloria-Rose, have just come back to my room after visiting with two other guests in the sitting room. It is now 11 o'clock. Earlier I thought I heard our hosts returning and I wanted to email or phone Jack, whom I am missing terribly. Unfortunately it was not them, but the two ladies were quite friendly and we chatted for about two hours. One was Jewish and her nanny had spent time caring for children at Sudely Castle as well. She is here to visit her nanny who is about to turn 96. The other lady, originally from India, has a daughter who works for Amnesty International and just came from a trip to Uganda. Well it is 11 o'clock and I must get some sleep or Leslie will have a hard time knocking me up tomorrow morning. Goodnight all.
