16 January 1880 — Constantinople | |
Friday. 16th [January 1880]. Got up to breakfast. Sang with Alice the Requiem a little. At 11 I had a painting lesson & began Alice’s portrait till luncheon. Mrs A. Hanson called. Henry was kept from luncheon by a visit from Saïd P. the Grand Vizier. I had such a headache I was obliged to go & lie down. At 3 when Dr Patterson came he gave me a dose 30 grains of bicar: of soda 20 drops of sal volatile—water & a teaspoon of lemon juice. I remained in the bed & had another dose & was then able to dress for dinner. We had the Parnis’, the Heaps, the Pears and Mr Palfrey Burrell—not a very lively party. Mr Pears was agreeable & well informed. Alice was taken faint in the middle of dinner & had to go to bed. | |
