sorry to say but if I had Nancy’s number you bet I would dial her at all hours violet’s faults are many but this one is relatable if not forgivable

in a startling lapse into classic 21st century complaints nancy is literally tortured by violet trefusis repeatedly calling her on the ‘phone

I don’t exactly believe this letter is more than half real but it’s very good

oh it must be! I know that picture but the neckline is so impressive I never really looked at the jewels she’s got on in it before

the only booksellers of yesteryear I really regard as peers & heroic role models are nancy mitford, who was good at it when awake, & pegs guggenheim, who used to come in to her own employer’s shop in her mink coat & pearls & didn’t need the salary but liked to feel picturesque

when nancy was working for heywood hill she was too tired to go to work one day so stayed in bed instead but forgot to lock up the night before so hh came by to find the unstaffed shop full of customers trying to buy books from each other she did NOT get fired for this

a ring from cartier is a consolation in these trying times

best thing for hovering on the precipice of self-supporting financial independence is to go out & buy yourself a coral tiara

held hands a little bit

met someone
