14 February 1879 — Constantinople | |
Friday. 14th February [1879]. Henry continues to improve steadily & was able to see Fournier as well as Hobart & Zichy. Hobart & Smijth dined with me. We were sitting talking after dinner when Sir Alfred came in to say the Sultan had sent his chamberlain Hamdi Pasha to say he wanted to know how Henry was & with orders to see him if possible. I saw that H.M. was alarmed at the many & absurd reports that are flying abt that Henry was mad &c & had sent Hamdi P. to make sure. I therefore took him up to Henry who was in bed & reading that he might satisfy himself as to the truth. | |
