FRENCH: Il en est ainse... ‡
‡) “He’s queer...” NOTE: This is not intended as an insult, more as gossip or pillow talk. This was writ by M.P. Henry Chips Channon in his diary ** upon meeting the young playwright (& unknownst to him future lover) Terrence Rattigan. Initially Channon found Ratigan cute but dull, but gradually became smitten by Rattigan, always lavishing him with expensive shirts & cufflinks, even expensive writstwatches, even after they broke up. His diaries, now uncensored, provide around 3400 pgs of highly detailed Who’s-Fucking-Who history of the upper classes in the UK, France, & the US, fr. circa w.w. i., through to the post-w.w. ii period, & into the late 1950s. No turn is left unstoned.
