My mother emerges well here. Her modesty was pleasing. She had a tendency to self-doubt and, except for her prowess in tennis, skiing and water skiing, had not, until now at Bletchley, had the opportunity to prove herself. She was particularly pleased to be praised by Connie Webb, whose standard is 100 per cent and not the smallest slip tolerated. Anne was thrilled that Connie had told her how magnificent I had been, taking over such responsibility at such short notice.

For almost the only time in my life, I could perceive my mother as someone who could take over, as someone steady who would not collapse under pressure.

At the end of the month, she had two lovely summer days at Knowle.

August 1st 1942 Knowle.

Perfect day. I am lying in a sunbathing suit on the tennis lawn, or rather, what was once the tennis lawn, near the new vegetable, once herbaceous, border and revelling in the sun.
