I asked to be woken at half past eight and pressed on with the ballet. I decided to compose it in five to six weeks and then to notate it at record speed. The work is going extremely well, although my English is suffering in consequence and I did not learn all my vocabulary for Miss Isaacs today. I spent the evening with Bashkirov, who has been trying to telephone me for three days without success and had come to the conclusion that I was angry with him. He was very taken with the subject of the ballet, and promised to think about it himself, letting his imagination run over the details. He took me home afterwards.
