23 October 1903 — Ca’ Capello, Venice | |
Friday. 23rd [October 1903]. Typed in the morning. Marzollo brought me Mr Hamilton’s new telegram to say £80 will not be accepted & so the matter is at an end– I cannot help feeling acutely that a good work of Henry’s should thus fall into the hands of such rogues as Jesurum & Co who will now buy us out but I know everything must end in this world & it is not generally the good who prosper. I was just going out with the girls after luncheon when in came Baron Salvadori of Trento who has the lovely villa Margone near there of which the dear Empress Frederick was so fond. He married a Marcello whom I had known since a child & is a cultivated, good looking & agreeable man. Then came the parties, so Violet & Verona went out & Nela & I tried afterwards to join them in Piazza but as it is the most difficult place in the world in wh to find any one, we missed them & they walked home. Miss Mundella came to tea & also Mlle Aspasie Kwekwitsch & Mr Montalba & then later Princess Polignac, née Singer called. | |
