Summary
Complaining that whenever she speaks to Ivory on the telephone, she forgets everything she wanted to ask and ends up frustrated, and with Merchant she always feels he needs to go and deal with something more important; saying she will not write what she wanted to now as "there's something wrong with my head, it keeps spinning and I feel ill"; sending a bad review of "The Householder" instead, adding sarcastically, "after all your labours and exertion, you need some entertainment."
