10 April 1900 — 3 Savile Row | |
Tuesday. 10th April [1900]. I went by train directly after lunch to Barnes having been sent for to go & see Lady Vivian who is under the care of Dr Chambers at the Priory. I found her in very nice apartments with a glass door opening out on the garden. She was up dressed & quite herself & seemed very pleased to see me. I sat with her for an hour. She talked of her illness & how she had fell so ill last year she had felt sure she was going to die. She said she sometimes thought she had died as she remembered nothing. She thought she must have fainted & fallen & hurt her head as it so often ached now. She rambled off at times incoherently showing she is not yet thoroughly cured. We had tea together & she fed the birds out of the window. I then left her. The matron told me that Lady Vivian has her good & bad days but that she is improving. Yesterday she was very bad & almost uncontrollable. I got a cab & drove from the Priory to 8 Lauriston Road Wimbledon Common to see Doris Vivian & Baby who are there with a governess. It is a tiny little villa wh they have taken for a short time. Baby is very much improved & the Governess seems to be very nice & to understand how to manage her. Doris walked to Wimbledon Station with me & I went back to London. Aunt Felicia dined with Nellie & me. | |
