Friday. 14th September [1894]. Did accounts &c. Mrs Ball came to see me at 12 & sat with me talking over about Henry’s last days. She had come here & seen him just as we were going out for what proved to be his last drive. Nurse Watson came to see me just before Mrs Ball & then Mrs Rate came & stayed to lunch. Afterwards I went out with Alice Rate & drove in a hansom with her to Cornwall Gardens where I left her & I walked home across the Park. Mr Poynter the Director of the Nat. Gallery came to tea & to look at the pictures with a view of seeing whether there would be any the National Gallery would be likely to take after my death.
