Frustrating day. Mostly spent pottering between the Rad Cam and the Upper Reading Room (both bits of the Bodleian Library) trying to find out something about Jean Belmain, the French Calvinist who appears from nowhere to teach Edward VI French. All of the books about Edward record this as fact, but never cite a source. Harrumph.
Anyway, nice hour-long tea break with M., discussing much about nothing.
Currently reading: Can You Forgive Her? by Anthony Trollope. Nothing much to report as of page 50...
