18 September 1878 — Therapia | |
Wednesday. 18th [September 1878]. It was still blowing but not raining when we got up as we breakfasted early & Henry & I went off in the brougham to town to attend Miss Maynard & Mr Kidder’s wedding. We got there just as the bride arrived– The Memorial church was full & there were Zichy & Conte there & later Mohsin Khan arrived. The bride looked very pretty. The American service was read which is like ours only shorter. The church was nicely decorated with flowers we went. Henry, Zichy & I went into the vestry to sign the register. We then got away as soon as we could & left the bride taking leave of her friends, as they go away to Marseilles today & take the mother with them. We went to the Embassy for an hour while the horses put up & then drove home & got luncheon joined by Sir Hy D. Wolff. At 3 the old Nawab of Oude turned up with 3 servants & we had some difficulty in settling him in his room to his satisfaction. He wanted to sleep down in the servants’ passage. Read & worked until the evening & abt 7 the Salamis arrived bringing Adl & Lady Hornby. | |
