22 March/4 April 1914

Tennis lessons have begun. Again. My tennis tutor says that I have a “natural swing”, but swing as often as I do, I don’t manage to hit the ball very often.

I would much rather watch Papa, who has a natural swing and hits it every time. He plays with some of his aides and others in his suite. Some of Mama’s friends like to play, too, but Mama says her great joy is sitting quietly in the sun and watching the rest of us madly running after balls.
