20th November 1937 20th November 1937 1/0 20th November 1937 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Thank you very much for the film papers. I enjoyed studying them very much. They arrived just in the right moment. As I was laying in bed with a bad cold and felt bored with everything. The others all went out to the shooting. And I felt angry with everything. But these magazines helped me to do away with the rest of that dull afternoon. Now I am up again and run about. Although my nose is still full and I have a cough. But at a certain time of the year everybody must go through colds. Mary D’Arcy is just now laying in bed with a cold, but she will get up for lunch. We shall be very lonely when she goes next Monday. We had a marvellous time during the shootings, the castle full of guests and during the shootings we went out and watched them. Deidi and her husband are here since the 30th October, but I am very sorry they are leaving 22nd November. They are going back over Paris again. Lucky Deidi to travel and see so much of the world. Her husband is great fun. We play ping-pong with him after every meal. He might grow too fat!!! While Deidi is thin and pale. But they are very happy and very much in love. The best film I saw was Camille. But I didn’t like Greta Garbo very much. It was the first time I saw her. In the last scene where Camille is dying, her acting was very good. I’m not very fond of Robert Taylor, he is too sweet and weak. Yesterday was Mammi’s feast and we had a gypsy band who played during lunch. I love the Hungarian music. Do you ever listen to radio Budapest. They generally have gypsy’s playing at 5 or 6 o’clock in the evening. Did you ever hear “There is but one beautiful girl in the world”, which is recited Baroness Orczi’s “Pimpernel and Rosemary”. Do read the book too. It is very true. I often hear people tell me the same stories which happen to all Hungarians living in Roumania. There is another Hungarian song I love extremely, it is called Gloomy Sunday. I found the English text in an English paper. It runs like this. “Sunday is gloomy My hours are slumberless Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers will never awaken you Where the black coach of sorrow has taken you Angels don’t think of ever returning you Would they be angry if I thought of joining you Gloomy Sunday” It is rather sad, and I must warn you not to listen too much to it. There are a great many people who committed suicide in listening to it. So beware! I hope you don’t think that I have gone quite mad by reciting all sorts of poetry. But I really don’t know what to do. Did I ever write to you about the place we are living? It has got rather a long history and a ghost haunting and so on. But nobody did meet the ghost yet. I shall write all about it in my next letter. But that won’t come until I get a nice and long letter of you. Writing letters, reading and knitting is my pastime here. It is a shame I don’t receive as many letters as I write. Good-bye for today and I do hope to have a letter of you very very soon.

28th October 1937 28th October 1937 1/0 28th October 1937 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine Many thanks for your letter. I have read your book and enjoyed it very much. I love the pictures in it. I think “Northanger Abbey” the best written and most amusing of all the Jane Austin books. Did you notice that in “Persuasion” your Queen Square is mentioned? I would love to see Bath, as I have read so much about it. But now 100 years have passed since Austin’s time and it is probably all changed. I have read so many old English books that I imagine England quite old fashioned and would probably be very much astonished of modern English life. I would love to go to England next year. But I don’t think I shall. I am learning English with Mary. “You are intoxicated by the exuberance of your own lolossity”. That is what she taught me, I am not quite sure as to the spelling. I am sorry the two little cousins are leaving tomorrow. They have stayed here for seven weeks. Miss Wright, their governess who is also here has grown fatter by 12 pounds, Mary too. They all seem to enjoy their food here. Hungarian food is very good indeed. We are as fat as ever, we are used to eat so much. I am very sorry to hear of your Aunt Eileen’s illness, I do hope she will recover soon. How is your Aunt Audrey? I remember them perfectly well. Give them my best regards when you happen to see them. Ludwig has gone to Germany to do his military service. Deidi is due to arrive in two days. Have you ever read any of Robert Hugh Benson’s books? He is a catholic and writes historical novels. I am sure they would do you good. I have just started reading “Come Rack, Come Rope”. I saw Burgtheater, the best German film of the year. It is called after the famous stage in Vienna and is about a young actor wanting a part and a famous old actor who helps him, the actors are Willy Eichberger, Werner Kraus and Hortense Rakey. Verner Kraus is marvellous. I saw him on the stage as King Lear. My love to you and all your family. Loll Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

17th October 1937 17th October 1937 1/0 17th October 1937 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Thank you awfully much for your nice letter and the book. I am delighted to have it. I am very keen on books. We have got a bookcase all for our own, and it is quite full of lovely books. We have it in our own girl’s drawing room. And we feel very proud to have it. Muck and I have writing desks standing here and I really do write quite a lot now, don’t I? I feel quite ashamed for not having written to any of your birthdays. I must have lost the dates. Of course I remember Mr D’Arcy in Pride and Prejudice. But he is not related to our Mary D’Arcy. She is Irish and from Tipperary. She told me D’Arcy is a name often to be heard in England. At the Sacred Heart Convent of Roehampton there were 4 different D’Arcy’s staying there besides her. Now there are two of my cousins staying at Roehampton, while the two smaller ones stay here. They are those that stand near Rasso on Deidi’s wedding foto. Did you recognize Marieliesl? I quite forgot she was there at Middelkerke with us you remember. I saw Anthony Adverse, it is a good film only too long. Olivia de Havilland is charming and Frederic March is a very good actor. But I was sorry he was not Errol Flynn. I would have loved to see him, everybody admires him so much. I am sorry I just missed his great film “The Charge of the Light Brigade”. It was here the day before we arrived in Sarvar. I am counting the days till Deidi’s arrival. We shall soon have the shooting to start and many guests to arrive. That’s most of the fun. I love having guests and seeing people. Tomorrow we shall have the General of Szombathely here for lunch. Muck just calling me to come and play tennis. We have a tennis match now in which everybody has to play against everyone. I believe Ludwig will win or Mary and I shall lose. I am as bad as ever. Or maybe Miss Wright, the cousins’ governess is worse than me. Anyway, we shall see.

11th October 1937 11th October 1937 1/0 11th October 1937 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Thank you awfully for your letter. I got it the very next morning after having written to you. I was delighted to have the foto’s. They are very good. I am sure Deidi would like the one of the group, but I can’t give you her address just now as I don’t know it myself. She wanted to be at Lourdes tomorrow and then spend a short time in Paris. And I am very glad to have her here by the 29th. She will stay here for the big shooting so I think it best for you to write to her while she is here. I am sending you a foto of Deidi’s wedding. I hope you like it and you don’t mind my writing all the bridesmaids names on the back of it. We have quite a pleasant time here. At first we had many guests but now we have only four. One is an Irish girl called Mary D’Arcy. She plays tennis with us every day. I do a lot of knitting and reading. I adore knitting as much as some people do smoke cigarettes. Muck tries the tap dance too. I am too clumsy for it and too lazy too. I had great fun hanging up the pictures in our rooms. Now everything looks very nice indeed. My riding does improve, although I am not very clever. I’d love to go hunting but I believe I would fall down immediately. I try to persuade Pappi to let me go next year. Yesterday I saw a German film called Port Arthur and on Thursday I want to see Anthony Adverse. We are reading all the Pimpernel books Deidi has, before she takes them to Mandelieu. I wrote this whole letter without a dictionary. I hate writing with dictionarys. I never do. It is rather cold here, and the trees have got yellow leaves. I am glad the rain stopped now. It rained so much last week. Now the sun shines again. Give my love to all of you. Loll Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

8th October 1937 8th October 1937 1/3 8th October 1937 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! Why don’t you write? I was waiting for a letter from you since I was here. But I remember I have not thanked you for your nice card of the World Exhibition. I hope you enjoy your stay at Paris as much as the rest of your journey. And now you are safely back in Bath and school has started for you. Isn’t it your last term? I have stopped learning two years ago and now I have already forgotten everything I ever knew. One could kill me but I don’t know when Edward the Confessor lived. The only date I can remember is the coronation of Charlemagne. Rasso has got a governess, but we three girls don’t do anything than sit in our drawing room and write letters. We do write letters, and if you want it, we would write to you every week or fortnight. But we expect you to answer just as often. Muck is busy collecting stamps and playing the accordion and Baby is playing the piano, and I don’t see any possibility of running away. And now we read every one of Deidi’s books before they are sent to her. She has got about 20 Pimpernel books and my head is quite dizzy with them, but they are amusing and I read Jayne Eyre too and I liked it very much. I hope you got Baby’s postcard of Tristran. I am sorry we can’t go to the opera now but we go to see the pictures every week. We saw “A Tale of Two Cities” it is marvellous. And something about Chinese gold with Gary Cooper. It was exciting and he knocked out the whole lot of his enemies. Next week we are going to see “Anthony Adverse”. Here one sees rather a lot of American and English films and many Germans too. The few Hungarians are awfully bad and not worthwhile seeing. We have many guests and enjoy our stay here. I go riding for 2 hours every morning. And we play tennis and Ping-Pong. We have got an Irish girl staying with us till November. She is called Mary D’Arcy. And she stayed five years at the Convent of the Sacred Heart at Roehampton near London. So we are practicing our English. Deidi is coming to see us in November. Now she is living at Mandelieu and finishing her little villa. She has got five rooms and a lovely big garden and is very happy. Much love Loll Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page

1st October 1937 1st October 1937 1/0 1st October 1937 (estimated date as no postmark) Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine! I send you the promised picture of Solzer now. It is not a very good one, but in our hurry of departure I couldn’t get a better one. We are at last in Sarvar now, and very sad to have left our dear Bavaria. I came in the car with Mami and Ludwig and we spent one night at the Grundlsee in the Salzkammergut at some friends. It is quite near the Wolfgangsee of the “Weissen Rossel”. It was beautiful there. I never saw such lovely mountains and valleys. The others had gone in one day from Leutstetten till here. Our house is full of guests now, quite unusual here. There are two friends of Ludwig, the two younger cousins of Leutstetten with their miss and a maid and for this evening we are awaiting Mary D’Arcy our Irish friend who will stay here till the end of November. We haven’t got time to arrange anything now and the house is in great disorder. I continue now after 3 hours running about and arranging our rooms. It is awful, we are arranging a living room for us girls and then my room and Deidi’s for Rasso, and to send Deidi’s things away, and then also the things of my governess who died in Leutstetten. She had lots of things here too. I am quite tired now. We have a second summer here. The last two days were terribly hot, but today it is better. We play tennis and other things, it is quite amusing now. I must finish as we are going to dinner now.
