This morning just at lunchtime I was told by Sister that Mrs Worthington had rung up to ask if I could come with them to Torquay to hear a Belgian violinist called Isaye. The matron allowed me to get off early & I got back to Southernhay at 1.30

Robert Worthington drove us down in his new car. Mrs W’s sister Miss Banhart who is a musician who came too. She knew the violinist having stayed with him at his house near Havre , which has been destroyed by the Germans. His playing was wonderful most sympathetic, full of feeling & fire. One piece that he played at the end sounded as if a whole orchestra was playing. I enjoyed it immensely.
