23 November 1892 — Ca’ Capello, Venice | |
Wednesday. 23rd November [1892]. This morning no one was up except myself. So I breakfasted beside Henry’s bedside. Ola’s face is very swelled. Henry’s cold worse. Cini came at eleven so I made him prescribe for every one all round. Stella is so much better he allowed her to get up tho’ not to leave her room. We turned my studio into a dining room so that Henry should not have to go down stairs & could go after meals to Stella to be read to. I went out after lunch to call on Mrs Curtis & found her at home as also Mrs Barrett a lady who has come to Venice for her children’s education & is lodging in a house behind the prefecture very sunless & cheerless. One girl is to study painting at the Academy—another the violin with Tirindelli. I went to the Pss of Georgia & found her at home—very smart & very pretty—younger looking than her daughters. I came home to tea. Baron Krauss the Austrian Consul General came to tea & I was amused to find that my meeting with D. Carlos & his wife was causing some curiosity & talk & Krauss had evidently come to hear what I thought about it. | |
