24 January 1880 — Constantinople | |
Saturday. 24th January [1880]. Practiced the Requiem. Cut out refugee things. In the afternoon I went out in the garden for a short time with Alice. Two Armenian ladies called in the morng to tell me the Ar: Ball I patronise is to be on Thursday. It was excessively cold out & the snow is still deep. Had my usual eveng school. Florence was very stupid & made such dreadful mistakes that I turned her out & refused to teach her any more. Mr Sartoris & the Washington’s dined with us—Mme Livadari, the 2 Schlumbergers, the fiddler Marchesi & Capt. Swaine came & we rehearsed the Requiem till 12 at night. | |
