27 June 1900 — 3 Savile Row | |
Wednesday. 27th [June 1900]. I went to lunch with Emily Lady Ampthill who has a fine house in (19) Stratford Place. I dined with Mrs Kay & Miss Drummond in Hyde Pk Place—knew hardly any one. Mr Ormond who is pleasant took me to dinner. On the left I had Chief Justice Vaughan Williams. By the end of dinner we began to realize who each other was & had some interesting talk. He has a splendid head—quite a Welsh type of feature. His wife is a very ugly little old woman dressed in a kind of Dutch dress– Her hair tightly drawn back from her forehead—she had it tied on the top of her head with a large black ribbon bow the ends of wh hung down her back. She had a huge white muslin ruff round her neck & a black velvet dress with a white stomacher. | |
