ESTORIL

28 JULY 1941

Crnjanski invited me to go for a walk with him last night. ‘Let’s go to the sea, my friend. I find the sea air recuperative.’ We took off our shoes and walked along the beach when suddenly, off in the distance, we saw a man sitting in the sand. ‘Look at Hristić,’ said Crnjanski, ‘sitting and watching the waves roll in.’

Our diplomatic colony is slowly beginning to melt away; one person after another is leaving for England. Hristić is still very much out of favour. He is dogged by rumours that he is working for Germany. But the Germans aren’t asking for him and the English don’t want him. Despite all that money, he’s not welcome anywhere. We walked over to him. ‘There’s no ship and we can’t swim across,’ he said, his eyes glued to the horizon.

‘The Turks say: “Allah gives soup to the one and a spoon to the other”,’ said Crnjanski.
