Curtains

(1951 July 6)

Our views may be admired without obstruction tonight because all the curtains have been taken down and sent to be laundered. The room looks naked, but as I said, plenty of views. ... This afternoon ... I and MM took curtains and basket in the taxi and the driver took them up to the curtain laundry above the R & O [newspaper]. Was glad it wasn't up to me to do it. I thought the cab would never get here in the first place. Later found when almost here it ran out of gas and another came after Shell Oil rescued the first.
