Burn Your Diaries, Kids

[poliphilo]

I begin to understand why executors burn diaries. Enid's diaries are shocking. My image of her as a wise and dignified elder is being replaced by one of her as a complete and utter twerp. Mind you, I love this "new" Enid much more than I did the old.

Wise and dignified Enid must also have loved twerp Enid enough not to dispose of her. Even if it wasn't a conscious decision, omission is a kind of imprimatur.

Actually she was very clear she wanted these papers preserved. They were willed to my cousin Jane with the proviso that anything Jane didn't want should go to The Society of Friends.
