13 May 1902 — 3 Savile Row | |
Tuesday. 13th [May 1902]. It was such a bitterly cold day that I did not go out at all. I typed letters from Henry on the Crimean War & battle of Alma. George Montagu came to luncheon. Lina Duff Gordon called, looking very handsome—very worried over her deferred marriage which the various relations on both sides are trying stupidly to retard. Tho’ not a brilliant marriage, it is useless to delay it now it is to be. Mr Phipps came to tea & also Oranmore & Connie. Eda & Mr Charles Alderson dined with me– Leo Layard sent me photos he made in Feby last of S Pierre & St Vincent– It must have been a lovely spot before this terrible catastrophe. The accounts given of which are quite appalling. The papers are now full of horrors– In todays paper there is an explosion of a naptha engine in America by wh 200 people are burned—in Paris a Brazilian called Severo was killed in an airship he was trying wh exploded. These modern appliances are fraught with danger. | |
