1 April 1878 — Constantinople | |
Monday. 1st April [1878]. I went out in the chair to Abdullah’s to be photod. Met the Genl & Mrs Arthur Hanson & she turned back with me. Mr Leveson Gower met me & both he & I were photod. Mr A. lunched with us. A very stifling hot day. At 3 I went out again in the chair to see Pss Reuss & saw her for the 1st time since her confinement. She was on the sofa with her baby in a basinette by her side. He soon began to howl so to her alarm & astonishment I took him up & quieted him till the English nurse came & carried him off. The Grand Duchess came in in lavender satin & rubies. I found out afterwards that she was expecting a visit from the Sultan & she leaves here tomorrow to return home. I went on to the Dorcas meeting at Mrs Smijthes– Mrs de Winton was today carried out in a chair into the garden as it was so warm & fine. | |
