7 February 1880 — Constantinople | |
Saturday. 7th [February 1880]. Had painting lesson but cannot say that I got on much with Alice’s portrait it seemed to me worse than before. I walked in the garden with Henry in the afternoon. The snow was fast disappearing & the bulbs beginning to show above ground– It was rather chilly & no sunshine. Alice went to the choir practice. Hobart P. called & Mme Etienne Pisani & her daughter. When I came up stairs I found Mr Sartoris in my boudoir dressed up in his Turkish lady’s costume wh Hill had made him for the Hobarts’ ball. He, Capt. Swaine & Mme Livadari dined & we practiced the Requiem all the evening. | |
