14 October 1901 — 3 Savile Row | |
Monday. 14th [October 1901]. Rested & wrote letters in bed. I wrote a letter to Monty on Merthyr’s advice but before I could send it to him he came up to look for me to talk over the affair of his leaving this house. I found him most amiable & evidently quite uncertain about going at all. I assured him he could go & that I thought I could any way be able to go on living here. He has taken a house at Brighton & wants to take all his own furniture there & thought I should be put out at it. I assured him I should, on the contrary, be glad to have my own rooms free for my own things & so he said he wd move there by degrees & wd not move out himself for certainly a year. It seems that Nellie & Merthyr are right & that he will end in staying on altogether! Magari! I should be very sorry to lose him. Emilia returned from the country. Monty shook hands cordially with me & told me not to worry about it & we parted. He goes to the country today to pay visits. I walked with Nellie & Eda– Violet Vivian came to tea & Sir Wm Des Voeux paid us a long visit. Violet says her mother is not much better– I fear now she will not recover her mind. Sir Edward & Lady Poynter dined with us—& I showed Sir E. the catalogue of the Widener collection wh interested him much– | |
