Tuesday. 27th [April 1880]. In the morng Mr Sartoris came to tell me our Programme had been upset by M. Denant (the French Secy) refusing to play in a Trio owing to the Concert being at the German Emby. I at once sent for Mme Livadari & she sent for a Mr Lucas to see if he could play. I had a painting lesson. Ct Hatzfeldt came to lunch. Afterwards Mme Livadari came & Mr Sartoris to try over the Rubinsteins duets we were to sing at the Concert. M. Maximoff the Russian Dragoman came & wrote out a translation from the Russian words in French as Mme Livadari only sings in It. & French. I then went out in the garden to walk with Mrs Lascelles—& had tea out in the garden. Lady & Miss Sinclair called & Mrs Crawford & came to the garden & Mme Mantilla. Mme M. at last made Henry buy me the sapphire ring she had so long tried to make him buy & he gave it me today. Henry, Arthur Burr & I dined alone—after dinner Mr Sartoris came & played dominoes with us. | |
