Sewed clothes for the tableaux– Directly after lunch I went & “got up” as Mrs (Gen) Carver & was just going to act it when Lady Felmer fainted so I waited & Maria made me do it before Aug: Lumley. I went into the drawing room & there “Carverized”—& Mary got better & came in to see it. Ivor came suddenly & dispersed us. At 7.30 the old Ex King of Oude Ak bal od owlah—& Ld & Lady Carmarthen came. Graham V. took me in to dinner & would sit near Lady Car: I had Aug. Lumley the other side & talked to him.
