30 May 1890 — Milton Court, nr. Dorking, Surrey | |
Friday. 30th May [1890]. I had a bad night in consequence of having played Halma too much so the young birds profitted as at daybreak I heard them chirping & got up & fed them & they soon began to understand that I was their foster mother. After tea took a drive with Mrs Rate, Ida, Enid & Margie. Going up the very steep hill before Wotton the horses gibbed—(it was a hind vehicle) & we all had to get out while the driver led the horses. Margie & Enid were so frightened they preferred to walk home. Alice Rate & Ida & I went on to Lady Hertfords on Leith Hill but she was not at home. We had a beautiful drive & it was a lovely afternoon. Miss Maxey left Milton today for town. I asked her to come & see me in town. She is a nice girl & plays the piano beautifully, she is a real good musician & plays Wagner, Chopin &c by heart | |
