25 December 1862 — Uffington House, nr. Stamford, Lincolnshire | |
Thursday. 25th [December 1862]. Christmas day. Was awakened early by the ringing of the bells– Went twice to Church & had 2 excellent sermons from Mr Hunt the new curate– After morng service I went with F. to call upon Mrs Voules– No gaietie—a most quiet eveng. The old widows had tea in the servants hall & we all went to see them– One very old widow was persuaded to sing us a hymn bt proved to be almost inaudible & when the others joined in the chorus a curious little whistly sound was the only thing discernable & made us shake with laughter. | |
