I am currently reading Through Wood And Dale, Diaries, 1975-1978 by James Lees-Milne, published by John Murray (1998). I have reached page 60, where Mr. Lees-Milne mentions how flattered he is when young people want to confide in him and share their troubles.
He concludes his diary entry for Monday 10th November 1975 with: “That sweet girl Diana Keith Neal [daughter of W. Keith Neal, collector of guns] told me all her tribulations the other evening when she cooked me eggs, about her lover who is a rich playboy living abroad for tax reasons, won’t stick at any work, is quickly bored, and desperately attractive.”
Lees-Milne kind advice to Diana was to “Drop him at once!”

Primrose Kirkman, of Warminster, in a letter to The Guardian newspaper, published today, Sunday 5th January 2014, writes:
If only Margaret Drabble’s wish (When it’s time to go, let me go, with a whisky and a pill, 2 January) could be realised, but not only for the old, although that is now my personal, selfish concern. My son was forced to starve himself to death two and a half years ago, a long, drawn-out process which took determination and courage and which was particularly harrowing for his family. He had suffered from a particularly aggressive form of MS for several years, a disease which is progressive and incurable. When he could no longer move himself from his bed to his wheelchair he decided that we had all had enough.
His doctor was sympathetic but could do nothing to help and it was too late to get Seamus to Switzerland had he not wanted, anyway, to die in his own bed. Margaret Drabble is right that we treat people with less humanity than we do our animals. I had been able to put a much-loved dog out of her suffering a few months before I had to watch my son end his own life. It would surely be a sign of an adult and civilised society to be able to do for our loved ones what we can do for our pets.
