Abstract
Murry is living in the house next door to me. He has a small room at the top of Boris Anrep’s1 house but he has his meals with me. Katherine’s2 rooms are just as she left them, but Murry can never bring himself to use them much. He and I start for the Café Royal. A private room has been engaged, an ornate, over-gilded, red-plushed room. Koteliansky, Gertler and Mrs Gilbert Cannan are grouped round the fire with Catherine Carswell and her husband, Don. Koteliansky happy, exuberant; Gertler cheeky and gay; Mrs Cannan small and still lovely in evening dress with a large black picture hat. We wait, wondering whether you have got lost. A waiter suddenly flings open the door, and you are there. You step into the room, pause, and look at us all.
From Lawrence and Brett: a Friendship (London: Martin Secker, 1933) pp. 20–2, 23–4, 30–1.
