Thanks again Philip. Mr Bob Bon was the name the children in Paris gave Gurdjieff, he always had sweets in his pockets to give them - generally Bon Bon’s. I know an ridiculous amount about him and the Fourth Way so there will be more posts in the future. The challenge is my library is currently scattered but should be brought back together in October when the outside office is built. Poor Katherine Mansfield, it was a bit late when she arrived at the Priere. She was a real talent. Gurdjieff was blamed for her death, but she loved her time with him.
Gurdjieff was / is a curious luminary figure but not lodged as if in thin air. You have sent me looking again; there was Jeanne de Salzmann and an Institute for the Development of Man. Those continued conversations in Paris from 1941 were brave, considering the Nazi curfew. I see there is a book of transcripts, not that easily obtained apparently just now. Seriously, there is the interaction with Buddhism? Any thoughts? (Curious aside, I see Katherine Mansfield died of TB cared for as a guest at the Institute near Fontainebleau in 1922.)
Best wishes for inter-train and your paying respects.

Mr Bon Bon I meant!
'Mr Bon-Bon'... hmm? Smile.
