2 January 1880 — Constantinople | |
Friday. 2nd [January 1880]. It was so wet that we found it impossible to go out so Alice & I cut out refugee jackets. We had a little dinner party– Ittersum, Christich, the Serkis & Scudamores with Mr St John making us 10 in all. Mr Scudamore got very tipsy & had to be carried off by his wife who was in an agony poor thing. He was half quarrelsome, ½ sleepy & nearly fell down several times. He called Mrs Serkis “my dear” and “a little humbug” & we were glad when he disappeared. The Mantillas came in the eveng & played dominoes. | |
