28 August 1879 — Therapia | |
Thursday. 28th [August 1879]. In the morning Edward read Gibbon to us in the breakfast room. After luncheon we all set off in the steam launch for Hobart P.’s party at Candilli. We lent the Antelope to the rest of the people to go down in & so Capt. Wingfield took down a large party & the Bittern was also anchored at Bebek. It was rather a toil up the hill to get to the house & when we got there we found they had arranged their terrace very prettily with various flags & carpets & chairs & there Hobart & his wife received & tea was given– In the hall of the house there was dancing & supper was prepared upstairs for those who remained to dance in the eveng. We stayed till 6.30 when we made our way back to the launch bringing the Dicksons home also. We were back for dinner. | |
