I arranged with Maurice Baring and Major Bloomfield that Hoidge was to come to Cassel one morning at 11 a.m.to sit to me.

The morning arrived and 11 o'clock and no Hoidge.

Eleven-thirty, 12--no Hoidge.
About 12:30 he strolled into the yard and I heard him asking for me in a slow voice.

I was raging with anger by this time.

He came upstairs and I told him there was no use doing anything before lunch, and that we had better go down and get some food.
