Thursday. 18th [October 1900]. Worked all morning at the Bp of Gibraltar’s arms in silk which I am going to put on the chair he is sit on for the confirmation on Sunday. Visit from the Bishop of Peterborough who with his wife Lady Mary Glyn arrived in Venice yesterday & is lodging at Pal. Tiepoletto– After lunch we all went off to the Lido taking our tea basket with us. Lady P., Mrs Walrond & I went in gondola to the “Quattro Fontane” the rest went by steamer & joined us there. We found the Montalba family there in their hut on the seashore. Mrs M. & Ellen & Hilda– They begged us to have our tea there & Hilda remained with us to help us—& afterwards we brought her back to Venice in the gondola. Mrs M. & Ellen left earlier as it was not very warm & they dared not remain late. We got home soon after sunset. | |
