16 May 1878 — Therapia | |
Thursday. 16th [May 1878]. Hill went to town to put things in camphor & Jerry went to feed the ducklings. Found one dead. Stayed out a long time watching the fire practise & talking to Capt. Woods who was waiting to see Henry. Ct Zichy came from town to see him. Mrs A. Hanson came to luncheon & also Capt. Helbert the Times correspondent with the Russians. Went up to feed the Ducks again after lunch. Mrs H. Hanson came. She & I sang together. Mme Issoudun, M. Dolez & Baron Galvagna called. We had tea in the grove & Mr H. Hanson joined his wife from town. Mr Jocelyn, Capt. Stopford, Henry & I played lawn tennis till near dinnertime. The Fourniers, Jocelyn & Ash & Capt Stopford dined with us. In the evening Henry was constantly called out to see people & amongst those who came was an ADC from the Sultan. After M. Fournier had left Henry sent to call him back to talk to him—& after all were gone he told me the Russians were said to be advancing on Constple. | |
