Jane Wolfe Diary Entry

Monday, 24 August 1942

 

     

 

Last night at 10:30 Joe [Joe Miller] came into my room for a talk, and then asked to visit me tonight on his return from wok at 1:30 a.m. Silence for the past 9 days led me to believe he had given up the idea. But!—he and Phyllis [Phyllis Seckler] have been having an affair for weeks, and it has only just come out! Before Grace went away, too. I was surprised.

     

But while sitting in the pergola last night with Joe and Phyllis, I felt the big magical opportunity for him which led me to speak to him, has passed. And in some respects he is such a child.
