11 March 1878 — Constantinople | |
Monday. 11th March [1878]. Cut out in morning. Went out directly after lunch with the Genl to visit the cows & took a turn in the garden. The cows look ill & miserable. Went out in the chair to the Dorcas meeting. Went to Mrs Millingen & found no one so went on to Mrs Smythes where they were. Henry went to poor Mr Kalergi’s funeral who died suddenly yesterday from jaundice. He tells me it was a magnificent affair– All the great Greek high priests—the coffin open—the body in uniform & a dark orange colour from the jaundice he died of poor man. Heard Jerry read. Lady Strangford, the Kemballs, Mr Dougall, Mr B. Kennett & Mr Jocelyn dined with us. | |
