20 October 1878 — Therapia | |
Sunday. 20th October [1878]. I painted all the morning in the garden & May & Hobart P. came & sat with me. I painted till luncheon. After lunch had a visit from Capt. Day of “Condor” which has come up here on its way to Bourgas. Abt 3.30 May, the General, Henry & I went out in the 6 oared caique. We left Henry at Bebek at the Persian Ambr’s and went across to call on Mrs Willie Hanson. Met there Lord Donoughmore, also Mrs Smijth & Leveson Gower. We brought the 2 latter home with us. Had Hatzfeldt, the Count, Sir H. Wolff, Sir Alfred, Mr Mallet, Mr Woodford, Ld George, Hobart P., May, Mr Smijth, Leveson Gower, Mr Palgrave & Kennedy & Ld Donoughmore to dinner. The latter arrived late saying that as he was coming up in the caique after dark when near the Calender Kiosque they heard a shouting & on nearing the shore in the dark 2 men told them 2 robbers had jumped out & tried to rob them but on hearing the splash of the oars had made off. | |
