27 April 1878 — Constantinople | |
Saturday. 27th April [1878]. Mrs Arthur came up early & she & I had hard work to look up all the Ladies Association things wh she carried off to finish as I did not want to recommence at Therapia. We only finished by lunch time. Henry went to see the Sultan in the morng. After a hasty lunch we went down to Therapia. It had poured in the morning & we had hesitated whether we would go or not & so the luggage was very late leaving. Henry & I drove down to the Ambassadors stairs & found the boat was not there by some mistake so we sent a caique to fetch one & the captains boat came, our boat having gone to the mosque. There was a strong S. wind blowing but it was lovely going up the Bosphorus. We got up abt 5 & were welcomed by the French Ambassador. We could not unpack as the tug did not arrive till 7 but we had our clothes to dress for dinner & dined at the French Embassy. | |
