Cruise

S.S. Glory of Greece

Darling,

Well, the first day it was rough and I got up and felt odd in the bath and the soap wouldn’t work on account of salt water you see and came into breakfast and there was a corking young man who said we are the only once down may I sit here and it was going beautifully and he had steak and onions but it was no good I had to go back to bed just when he was saying there was nothing he admired so much about a girl as her being a good sailor goodness how sad.

The thing is not to have a bath and to be very slow in all movements. So next day it was Naples and we saw some Bertie churches and then that bit that got blown up in an earthquake and a poor dog killed they have a plaster cast of him goodness how sad. Papa and Bertie saw some pictures we weren’t allowed to see and Bill drew them for me afterwards and Miss P. tried to look too. I haven’t told you about Bill and Miss P. have I? Well, Bill is rather old but clean looking and I don’t suppose his very old not really I mean and he’s had a very disillusionary life on account of his wife who he says I wont say a word against but she gave him the raspberry with a foreigner and that makes him hate foreigners. Miss P. is called Miss Phillips and is lousy she wears a yachting cap and is a bitch. And the way she makes up to the second officer is no ones business and its clear to the meanest intelligence he hates her but its part of the rules that all the sailors have to pretend to fancy the passengers. Who else is there? Well a lot of old ones. Papa is having a walk with one called Lady Muriel something or other who knew uncle Ned. And there is a honeymoon couple very embarrassing. And a clergyman and a lovely pansy with a camera and white suit and So Bertie sends his love too.

Mum bought a shawl and an animal made of lava.

POST-CARD

This is a picture of Taormina. Mum bought a shawl here. V. funny because Miss P. got left as shed made chums only with second officer and he wasn’t allowed ashore so when it came to getting into cars Miss P. had to pack in with a family from the industrial north.

S.S. Glory of Greece

Darling,

Hope you got P.C. from Cicily. The moral of that was not to make chums with sailors though who I’ve made a charm of is the purser who’s different on account he leads a very cynical life with a gramophone in his cabin and as many cocktails as he likes and Welsh rabbits sometimes and I said do you pay for all these drinks but he said no that’s all right.

So there are deck games they are hell. And the day before we reach Haifa there is to be a fancy dress dance. Papa is very good at the deck games especially in one called shuffle board and eats more than he does in London but I daresay its alright. You have to hire dressers for the ball from the barber I mean we do not you. Miss P. has brought her own. So I’ve though of a v. clever thing at least the purser suggested it and that is to wear the clothes of one of the sailors I tried his on and looked a treat. Poor Miss P. Bertie is madly unpop. he wont play any of the games and being plastered the other night too and tried to climb down a ventilator and the second officer pulled him out and the old ones at the captain’s table looked askance at him. New word that. Literary yes? No?

So I think the pansy is writing a book he has a green fountain pen and green ink but I couldn’t see what it was.

POST-CARD

This is a photograph of the Holyland and the famous sea of Galilee. It is all v. Eastern with camels. I have a lot to tell you about the ball. Such goings on and will write you very soon. Papa went off for the day with Lady M. and came back saying enchanting woman Knows the world.

POST-CARD

This is the Sphinx. Goodness how sad.

POST-CARD

This is temple of someone. Darling I cant wait to tell you I’m engaged to Arthur. Arthur is the one I thought was a pansy. Bertie thinks egyptian art is v. inartistic.

POST-CARD

This is Tutankhamens v. famous Tomb. Bertie says it is vulgar and is engaged to Miss P. so hes not one to speak and I call her Marbel now. G how S. Bill wont speak to Bertie Robert wont speak to me Papa and lady M. seem to have had a row

there was a man with a snake in a bag also a little boy who told my fortune which was v. prosperous Mum bought a shawl.

POST-CARD

Saw this Mosque today. Robert is engaged to a new girl called something or other who is lousy.

S.S. Glory of Greece

Sweet,

This is Algiers not very eastern in fact full of frogs. So it as all off with Arthur I was right about him at the first but who I am engaged to is Robert which is much better for all concerned really particularly Arthur on account of what I said originally first impressions always right. Yes? No? Robert and I drove about all day in the Botanic gardens and Goodness he was Decent. Bertie got plastered and had a row with Mabel – Miss P. again – so thats all right too. Mum bought a shawl.
