8 November 1900 — Ca’ Capello, Venice | |
Thursday. 8th [November 1900]. Mr Christie came in the morning to talk over Sailor’s Institute affairs. Told me also that Sir Hubert Miller has presented to our church some nice old inlaid wooden altar rails– I took Aline to the station directly after lunch & saw her off by the 2 train with her cousins Lady Dounshire & Miss Balfour to Milan. I went thence to Mrs Curtis—had a talk with her about Fanny Browning who seems not to be going to get a separation from her husband against all her friends’ advice. Took Mrs Curtis out in gondola for a while & after dropping her fetched Mrs Fildes & took her to the jeweller in the Piazza to conclude the bargain for her pearl necklace. It was 6 oclock before I got home & at the door I met the Misses Monk who came to say they were starting home tonight having had a telegram to say their only brother is ill– They did not stay long & when they were gone & the door shut I went up to my room & really felt that I am alone again—a relief for I have been living at high pressure & am very tired much as I liked having my friends– I dined at 7.30 & went to bed at 10—to have a long rest– | |
