Repat. rumours in the air again.

In evening, to St Stephens to hear Mrs. Drown play piano with Miss Bicheno - wonderful music.

Baby Ogley (Olivia) born today, Baby Cautherley (George) yesterday.

Olive has bad cold.  She despatched $5 to Topper (in Shamshuipo Camp)

Comments

Mabel Redwood:

Wasn’t that lady who played the piano called Miss Bichino...not Bichelo ?  Perhaps I am wrong.   There was a plan that she would give me piano lessons..(there was a piano in the hallway outside her door.) but I was put into the hospital and never did get the lessons.   I doubt if the neighbours would have been pleased anyway !

(Barbara confirms the spelling should be Bichino, not Bichelo)
