Recruiting Office in morning. The men I am getting are really a good crowd, fine big fellows & all ex
soldiers.
Went with Ferguson, the R.O., to the Club after tea. He got me put up for it. Its a very fine place with a
huge dancing room, tables all round & a good band. Some really smart looking people there & a lot of very
nice looking men, among them some of the MCC cricketers, there is a cricket match going on here, at least a
cricket week & one has to endure hearing much conversation about it round about the place. It bores me
even to hear it discussed. Ferguson dined with us & afterwards we went to a cinema - very bad show called
Helen of Troy - most disconnected & badly done. Cant imagine what an Indian audience made of it.
Wednesday [17 November]
At Office in morning. Went a walk in afternoon. A dance at the hotel in the evening, people conspicuous for
having really indecently short skirts, a few looked alright, some very vulgar.
Thursday [18 November]
