21 February 1878 — Constantinople | |
Thursday. 21st [February 1878]. Mrs de Winton very ill indeed suffering in her head. Adl Hornby, Mr Winslow & Mr Kirkness & Mr Rawson lunched. Mrs Parnis & Beechie came & cut out & worked. I sat all the afternoon in Mrs de Wintons room as she was very ill. Hobart P. dined with us. I went early to bed as I went up Mr Jocelyn came after me to say that a telegram had come saying our Govt had threatened to withdraw our Ambr from St Petersburgh if the Russians enter Constantinople—almost a declaration of war. Elliot & Ash: dined. | |
