26 May 1901 — 3 Savile Row | |
Sunday. 26th [May 1901]. I went to 10 oclock service at German Chapel Royal. The Sub dean was there & had chosen hymns which affected me much. He had been to Port Eliot to help to bury Charlie Eliot & after the service he told me how Connie had got well through the terrible day & had left the train at Taplow on the way back & had gone to Dropmore to stay with the kind Fortescues. Being Whitsunday nearly all ones friends are out of town—but I had a visit directly after luncheon from Sir Arthur Otway. He came to talk over the part of Henry’s Memoirs wh he is writing—the Parliamentary part. Later Mr Charles Alderson came– He is much concerned at Cecil’s not getting the Deanery of Peterboro after all as Lord Salisbury has given it to a Mr Brown. Nellie went out to lunch & only returned at tea time & found with me Mr & Mrs Kennedy. Edward joined us & sat some time after they left. At 7 I walked up Bond St with him & then bid him good bye as he & Blanche left at 8.30 for Ireland. I went to Hertford Street to see Adeline Bedford & then on to see Mrs Rate & hastened home to dinner. Mr Alfred Burton dined with us & he talked a great deal to us about Charlie Eliot to whom he had been tremendously devoted– | |
