bath.
8:00 p.m. Drying hair now. V. much hope Mark Darcy is late as do not want
him to find me in dressing gown with wet hair.
8:05 p.m. Hair is more or less dry now. Then just have to do makeup, get
dressed and put mess behind sofa. Must prioritize. Consider makeup most
important, then mess disposal.
8:15 p.m. Still not here. V.g. Keen on a man who comes round lace, in stark
contrast to people who come round early, startling and panicking one and
finding unsightly items still unhidden in the home.
8:20 p.m. Well, pretty much ready now. Maybe will put something different on.
This is weird. Does not seem like him to be more than half an hour late.
8:30 p.m. 9:00 p.m. Cannot quite believe it. Mark Darcy has stood me up.
Bastard!
