After dinner he & Marjorie go out to Morgans, & Mum & I stay in to listen to a wireless which we've hired. F.B. conducts a light operatic concert - Bizet: 'Le Patrie' ov; [blank] sings a Verdi & Puccini Arias. he makes the Peer Gynt Suite no. 1. sound positively thrilling esp. Asis Tod.* What the world has lost in his not conducting enough, cannot be estimated
