15 January 1880 — Constantinople | |
Thursday. 15th January [1880]. Got up after breakfast. Cut out. Sang with Mme Livadari for a couple of hours practicing the Alto part of Cherubini’s Requiem till lunch time came. After lunch, I was up cutting when they came to say Munir B. was here so I went down. He talked of the Sultan’s wish that his Harem shd help to make Refugee clothes so I took him upstairs & showed him what we were cutting out as Alice, Florence & Emily were at work. I then took him into the boudoir to see my cage with the birds the Sultan had sent me. I went out & walked with Henry in the garden. The snow lay a foot deep altho’ in the sun it thawed a little. Came in & sat up stairs cut out & had tea. Had school. Florence cd not spell “possible” so I wrote & pinned it to her back & front to Jerry’s great delight. Dined alone & I practiced Requiem in eveng | |
