A quiet night last night. Started typing Beryl's adventures today.

14th May 1941

No sirens last night. Papers full of Hess affair! Am on last chapter of Beryl book. It has taken me just six weeks to write. Now some corrections. Marion says I must not cut any of the scenes, they are all so funny. Hope she is a good critic! beryl was finished today, I got a writing fit and completed the last two chapters. Daddy insists on sending it to a publisher. So thumbs up I think I shall miss not having t to write, but there is still much revising to be doe. An alert at 5.45 - 6.10
