Lunch with F.H. [Frieda Harris] at Grosvenor Hotel v.[ery] good (“Nourishing”= [I Ching hexagram] 27). She dines with the Great Panjandrum himself with the little round button on top—Mr [Lew] Jackson, Augustus Celluloidus—at Claridges, where he has a suite.

9 PM Very tired and semi delirious after a bad supper—boring beef sandwich and skim milk.
