more girls. John apparently is vascillating between proposing to me or not, & he tried  to find out Kenneth's opinion of me the other day because if Kenneth is going to propose, John must make up his mind sooner, so he can step in before its too late if he does decide to marry me! K said it never occurred to [[strikethrough]] him [[/strikethrough]] John that [[strikethrough]] I have [[/strikethrough]] there is a third party ie. me - to consider!

Stuart & the House of Commons, & Sacha Guitry with the Coleman's (a dreary dinner & delightful movie). I love Mrs. Payne - & [[strikethrough]] her [[/strikethrough]] Dr. Payne too. These are dream days which I will soon be longing for [[strikethrough]] over again. [[/strikethrough]] & reliving in time.

The only things that make me doubtful about K are - that he is only 23, & that he has not had any real affairs before this, & that therefore this might seem more important to him than otherwise. Also that he still has the healthy bloom & confidence that [[strikethrough]] college [[/strikethrough]] success at college can give one, & [[strikethrough]] that [[/strikethrough]] when he gets deeply citified he may prove himself to be an unforceful & unconfident [[strikethrough]] resigned [[/strikethrough]] & soft person, who becomes resigned to his rut slowly but surely like 90 percent of the men I know. The first point might be explained away by the fact that he hasn't looked at other girls because none of them had enough to make him really care, & I was the first
