30 July 1878 — Therapia | |
Tuesday. 30th [July 1878]. The Mother & S. left us in the Odessa boat which M. Fournier kindly ordered to stop for them. It came abt 11¼ and as soon as it was in sight round the corner they got into the steam launch & went on board. Had my first lesson of Habit Effendi in Turkish & think I shall like him. At 4 o’cl: we went out riding a large party—Mlle Zarifi, Aimée, Henry, Mr Kennedy, Mr Cartwright & Lord George. We went on the high road to Buyukdéré and came back by the upper one on the hillside. Mr Cartwright had one tumble. Came in abt 6. Rested and heard Jerry read. M. d’Ehrenhoff dined with us. In the evening as we were sitting with the gentlemen who were smoking someone said they heard music in the secretary’s house. Mr Kennedy begged us to go over which the General, M. d’Ehrenhoff, Mr Gresley, Aimée did. The Genl & Aimée set up calling like cats. We found Mr Cartwright playing the piano & the others smoking. We stayed about ½ hour—sang a little & then went home. | |
