noon
The die is cast , or as good as cast . I could not have gone on quietly , had I not put that down . And now I can begin . Sniatynski and his wife arrived here towards noon , for an early dinner . He had to go back , as a new play of his is coming out at the theatre . However happy we may be in our rural seclusion , we are always delighted to see them . Aniela is great friends with Pani Sniatynska , and I suppose there will be an exchange of confidences .
