30 March 1880 — Constantinople | |
Tuesday. 30th [March 1880]. I stayed in bed & read & wrote & devoured Mme de Remusat’s Memoires. I got on the sofa for lunch. The famous horseraces came off today at the Sweet Waters. The principal one was Mr St John’s pony (who won) against Hobart P’s pony. Alice rode then with Capt. Swaine & came home late. We had a dinner party—the Mantillas, Ct Montgelas, Ct Hatzfeldt, Ittersum, Corti, Marquis Porcinari, Mr Oliphant, Col. & Mrs Wilson—13 in all. They played dominoes– Alice went to Bartholeyus private theatricals. | |
