10 February 1878 — Constantinople
Sunday. 10th [February 1878]. At breakfast Henry announced that Ahmed Vefyk had sent him word the Fleet, in finding their passage opposed, had gone back to Besika to await instructions—so a 2nd time we have cut a foolish figure. Coco opened his cage door & flew away—luckily we caught him in a tree in the garden. Went to morning church coming out met Scudamore who congratulated me on the approaching arrival of the Fleet & opened his eyes very wide when I told him it was not coming. Jerry was naughty & I had to punish him by keeping him prisoner & making him walk in the garden as such. Mr Dolez & Henry walked with me– A most lovely day & the sun quite hot. Went to eveng church. Ahmed Vefyk came by to beg for £1000 for Refugees who he said were starving– Lady Kemball, Hobart P. dined also Mr C. Alexander son of Ld Caledon. Mr Bartlett came after dinner.
