Nela went back in gondola with Henry in gondola. I with Mr Thompson– I went to see Pss Olga Montenegro. Found her very sad & ailing. She clung round my neck & cried poor little thing. She said the Empr of Russia had been very kind & was going to pay all her debts & give her a pension & she is going for some months to Montenegro. Sir Henry Thompson was giddy this morning & did not get up to breakfast—but he was better in the evening. Dined at 8 the girls & Mr Thompson went out after dinner.
