3 February 1880 — Constantinople | |
Tuesday. 3rd. [February 1880]. I sat in the studio & tried to write letters for the post but I had so many interruptions that I could not get thro’ many– Mrs Newman came & we had great discussion abt whether the law allowed her to make contracts to keep children a certain number of years to educate. She was excited & I tried to calm her spirit. We lunched at one Henry went to Stamboul to pay visits– Mr Arthur left us– Alice went out with Hill & so I got a rest—laid on the sofa & read till tea time. Aimée, Mme Condouriotis, Mme Mantilla, Mr Willy Hanson, Ct Dubsky called—& later Radolinsky called & I had a clearing up with him as to why he never came near us. He said he had thought I was not “so kind” to him as I was at Madrid, we parted friends. We dined alone but directly after dinner Mme Livadari & Sr Marchese, Messs Sartoris & Swaine came & we practiced our Requiem– Cr Corti & Mr Oliphant came in the eveng for a little while. | |
