I hope that Fräulein Engelmann will get that position. In that case she would not leave after summer, as she intended, which would be a great boon to us all. – Had no German to-day, got home earlier, and found Pappie up, and very well considering. We are going to ‘St. Joan’ to-night. After dinner went to Markie and played a sort of tennis, then met Mammie at School of Music, and both of us went to Dr. Cussen. He examined me, and tortured me by sticking his finger down my throat a few times. He said that if tonsils were not better next week, I must get them out! Think of loss of time and expense for Mammie! P. and I took a taxi to opera, and saw the wonderful play acted by a first-class company. One comes away with the spirit of the Middle Ages, convinced more firmly of St. Joan, and except for the fact that Shaw has no respect for anything, I see nothing against the Church. The Inquisitor was depicted as honestly working for general good of Church, and Shaw could have sneered at him, but he didn’t. The whole thing is really clever and interest is never lost even in such long dialogues where Bishop of Beauvais, Duke of Warwick and friar talk.
