[[strikethrough]]MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1936[[/strikethrough]] 48th Day 318 Days to come Cont to be here in the Parsenn Sport Hotel, with the lovely Kindschu's gone, & all those old days with Alice & Otto & Spiss & me alone - gone for good. I remember those spring tours of two years ago with such joy - & that day when I cried because it was my last day here & Hermann wouldn't take me up on another tour because I had done that last Wolfgang so well & would be tired. He & Alice came in my room--& Hermann told me to cheer up & that he felt as if I was his child & he didn't want me to be so unhappy. I remember when he fought with Alice--& then he came in my room & we talked, & he was sorry he had been so disagreeable. I remember playing tricks on them--putting soap on their toothbrushes, & then they doing the same to us, & last year when I came on my crutches to join everyone here because I was out of the F.I.S. I was so glad to be here, & they were so lovely to me. There is no use--I am too spoiled--& I like to be the one & only on a team & the best skiier--& here I am eclipsed by ten others--& it is good for me because it is such [[strikethrough]]TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1936[[/strikethrough]] 49th Day 317 Days to come Cont a hard contrast. I am ashamed of myself & my conduct for the last three weeks & how I've tried to pull in opposite directions from the others the whole time. Well I have been punished for it anyway, with so many minor injuries. It is a beautiful day today, & tomorrow I will ski, & decide whether to stay for the slalom. Probably I will go to England after that--& return to be in the Olympic parade. I suppose if I feel perfectly alright--I would be dumm not to stay & try to be one of the best substitutes, & thus help my chances in the F.I.S., but, tomorrow will decide that. I hate to have the old days & the old friendship with Hermann gone, but it must all be there underneath. I remember the time when Louis Schönberg was here too, & when he liked me. I liked him so much too--& Kathie & he used to sit in my bedroom & we all had such fun--& then he returned to Anton & met his girl & married her--& now it all seems so long ago & so unretreivable! Since being on this team I begin to see what qualities are appreciated & necessary in this
