Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 1 August 1941
[I Ching hexagram] 15.
Borrowed 6d from valet = 15!
Got 79£ 17.8 from Dennes.
£24.15.0 ditto Yorke [Gerald Yorke].
Paid various debts; bought pencil
case socks & necktie to praise
Lunch at Kempinsky’s [restaurant]. Food good, but no decent drink, not even sherry. I fear he must be regarded as Napoo.
Dined at Majorca.
From 6.30 to 8.5 tried repeatedly to telephone 10 Hanover Square that I needed no supper. No answer.
Returned to telephone Michaud [Jean Michaud] BAT 5656 as agreed. Nobody at board. Switched on various noises. Miss Hubard came—me in Abbi! & put me through. Solution: the porter had bolted!
Mason’s Arms Boss took 2 England Stand Fast! to put up in the pub.
P.S. Met Gipsy Rae 8 Cambridge Court PAD 6104. Astonishingly like de Miramar [Marie de Miramar]!
