20 February 1879 — Constantinople | |
Thursday. 20th [February 1879]. The Admiral left this morng. Caratheodory P. came to breakfast. Aimée came to see me. A messenger arrived from Yildiz with a kind letter for me from the Sultan in answer to mine of yesterday to H.M. No Antelope being heard of we determine to go by the Austrian Lloyd to Trieste wh is the only place where there is no quarantine. After lunch I went off to see Nazlie & sat with her some time. She told me that on hearing of Henry’s illness she had sacrificed a lamb for him to be distributed to the poor & had afterwards sent candles to the mosque as a thanksgiving for his recovery. She is very fond of him & says she feels when she is coming to our house as tho’ she were going to see a father. The Willy Hansons came to T & May & Hobart P. The latter & Mr Ash: dined with us. May & Mr Chermside came in the eveng. Ld Donoughmore dined with Corti. | |
