The Merciless Ladies
“From Holly Stafford to William Grant at Via Caglioni 21, Trastevere, Rome.
Royal Avenue 1 May Dearest Bill, I’m writing to say how disappointed we were not being able to see you again before you left. We missed you by only two days: the weather in Guernsey was damp and windy so we didn’t prolong our h/moon, there being so much to see in London.
I thought you’d refused the offer. I know it’s short term and may lead to something better – what: do we know? – but you’re back writing of a re...gime you don’t like, and, from what you tell me, that can’t be altogether without risk. Also, does it mean you’ve left the M. Guardian permanently?
I’m now comfortably settled in here and feeling quite good about it, though one cannot help noticing a few differences from Newton and Oxford. Still not got used to being called Mrs Stafford. Also I’ve never known before what it is not to be short of money!
The people we meet are very quaint and have quite a different standard of values from normal people like Daddy or Mother.MoreLess
