The Journal of a Disappointed Man
·
W. N. P. Barbellion
18
At
the
"Ring
of
Bells"
had
a
long
yarn
with
the
landlord,
who,
as
he
told
us
the
story
of
his
life,
was
constantly
interrupted
but
never
disconcerted
by
the
exuberant
loyalty
and
devotion
of
his
wife--a
stout,
florid,
creamy
woman,
who
capped
every
story
with:
"Ees
quite
honest,
sir;
no
'arm
at
all
in
old
Joshua."
June
5.
A
half-an-hour
of
to-day
I
spent
in
a
punt
under
a
copper
beech
out
of
the
pouring
rain
listening
to
Lady
----'s
gamekeeper
at
A----
talk
about
beasts
and
local
politics--just
after
a
visit
of
inspection
to
the
Heronry
in
the
firs
on
the
island
in
the
middle
of
the
Lake.
It
was
delightful
to
hear
him
describing
a
Heron
killing
an
Eel
with
"a
dap
on
the
niddick,"
helping
out
the
figure
with
a
pat
on
the
nape
of
his
thick
bull
neck.

Am
reading
Huxley's
Crayfish.
H----
brought
me
in
that
magnificent
aculeate
Chrysis
ignita.
August
15.
Met
her
in
the
market
with
M----.
I
just
lifted
my
hat
and
passed
on.
She
has
the
most
marvellous
brown
eyes
I
have
ever
seen.
She
is
perfectly
self-possessed.
A
bad
sign
this.
August
18.
When
I
feel
ill,
cinema
pictures
of
the
circumstances
of
my
death
flit
across
my
mind's
eye.
I
cannot
prevent
them.
I
consider
the
nature
of
the
disease
and
all
I
said
before
I
died--something
heroic,
of
course!
August
31.
She
is
a
ripping
girl.
Her
eyes
are
magnificent.
I
have
never
seen
any
one
better
looking.
