24 January 1901 — Rome | |
Thursday. 24th [January 1901]. Lovely weather & I was much better but not up to doing much & preoccupied with sad thoughts so sat embroidering till lunch. Had a visit from Mr & Mrs Curtis. After lunch I went out. Paid Adeline a visit & sat talking to her– The papers very interesting with accounts of heralds proclaiming Edward VII. Everybody is relieved he should not call himself Albert I. Mrs Arkwright was with Addie & left early to go to the church of S. Apostoli to sing in Persse’s Natale. I dissuaded Adeline from going. I bought myself Godfreys inhaler & after using it freely my cough improved much– Wrote letters of Empress Fredk & Princess Charlotte of Saxe Meiningen– Had a frantic letter from Mr Montalba asking me to find out how a funeral service should be conducted. I answered him by post that I would find out & would return myself to Venice for it. In evening received a telegram from Empress Fredk “Deeply touched & grateful. Empress Frederic”—& one from Miss Knollys from Osborne “Am desired to send you grateful thanks for kind sympathy. Charlotte Knollys”– | |
