JANUARY 30 Sat 1932. I read some of Poe's "Masterpieces today- gee, he must surely have been a "queer" writer - with all his imaginations of death and horror. But in a way I really admire him for his deep thinking power. 19 YK is quite nice, that is, in what he does, & says. This aft, we were talking about Honululu & my going to the U - and what do you think! He said that I can stay at his place in Kaimuki, that he has a room for himself, & his house is 5 min. from the U. This eve, W & I & he played all sorts of screamingly childish card games. JANUARY 31 Sun. 19 Well, well, today I made my first burst in prose - that is, something really worth while - The Golden Lie. I really think, myself, that the plot is good - but my vocabulary - Terrible! Again I have seen Edward Kent - and have heard him speak. He's such an ideal chap - I wonder if I'll ever get to know him. I played my first tennis strokes at Lihue, under Price - I didn't do very well, though. This evening, YK went back - we went on Tong's car, and tout les choses ["everything" in French] was OK except when returning - we had a flat tire & got it fixed just before a heavy rain!
