18 July 1900 — 3 Savile Row | |
Wednesday. 18th [July 1900]. It is still very hot. Tho’ I keep my rooms shut up the thermometre marked 81º in my drawing room. Nellie, Mary & I sat indoors working all day. I went out at 7 & called on Cornelia who is leaving town this week for Canford & told her the reason I did not go to her party yesterday– She was very kind & sympathetic—but it was not her brother & why should she have remembered—& after all what are anniversaries? We had 5 o’cl tea on the landing of the staircase as it was a little cooler there than in the rooms. Monty had got a new dodge an electric [illegible word] wh works like a light by just being connected with the wire. It certainly cooled his room wonderfully. Lady Margaret Jenkins came to tea, also Connie, & Mr Cazenove who came to talk about the Layard Home– Old Css Lutzow also called (née Seymour). I dined with Mr Charles Alderson—& met Lord & Lady Robert Cecil & Col. & Mrs Sandford, Mrs Alfred [illegible word] & Mr & Mrs Edward Somers Cocks. Lord Robert took me to dinner. | |
