Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Geoffrey Griffiths complains about it being a busy few weeks due to the Hallé - possibly rehearsing in the chorus?
He's heading to a concert with Ida's father Walter, "P.S. Shall not hold your father's hand. PS.II. But what if fall asleep and do unawares?" Uh oh, one should never mistake one's girlfriend's father for one's girlfriend.
There seem to be fewer men available for the chorus and he knows it will be all the harder for the women singing, "nine tenors on Friday and about four rows of sops!" (Which I hope is just short for "soprano" and not something else.) Possibly the shortage is due to the war?
