Summary:

In the ninth volume of James Lees-Milne's diaries, the ardour towards their eventual editor "M", has cooled to a more durable tenderness, and while his bride's finger waits outstretched, Kenneth Clark discusses with the priest the Coptic wedding ring he has chosen.
"In this, the ninth volume of James Lees-Milne's addictive diaries, the flames of his love for their eventual editor, 'M.', have cooled to a more durable tenderness. There is no change, however, in the sharpness of his observation, and the anecdotes he records with such wit, affection and prejudice are as 'strangely riveting' as when John Betjeman first so described them."
