July 29th. To the Star tavern in Soho (as Pepys might have said) where I did share a glass of wine with Mr.Ingrams and a goodly variety of literary folk where we did eat and were very merry and had much conversation about the Oldie periodical and what contribution I might make at some future time. And so home by high speed locomotive from St Pancras terminus to Ashford in the county of Kent in thirty-seven minutes. Lay long in bed the following morn, not used any more to such busy times begad.
