17 December 1864 — Exeter House, Roehampton | |
Saturday. 17th [December 1864]. Down to prayers and made the tea at breakfast. Blanche did not get up today having still neuralgia. I sat up stairs first in Blanches room & then in the schoolroom where I wrote letters & worked. The M & Schrei and Capt. Eliot went to town in a hired brougham. There was a little snow on the ground when we woke this morning and it snowed all the morng & froze 6 degrees so that the horses had to be rough shod. Grannie promised me a gold thimble & commissioned the M to choose one. We sat up in the schoolroom all the afternoon and at 4 Cary Somes came to see us. My dog from H. Bourke came today & we had it brought up to look at—it seems a nice dog, ugly but gentle—a kind of bull terrier. After 5 T. Cary went home and at 6 I dressed for dinner. The M did not bring the gold thimble but ordered it. I worked all the eveng—at about 11 Ivor came in having come from Linton Park. Bed at 11½– | |
