3 April 1904 — Ca’ Capello, Venice | |
Sunday. 3rd [April 1904]. Easter Sunday we all went to church which was crowded at both services. Eda went also to the 8 o’clock service & said that it was also very full. Sir Hubert Miller had hung a good deal of black cloth over things wh is his high church notion on Good Friday—but today he had covered everything with flowers daffodils &c. After the service Mrs Burdon Muller and I walked home. In the afternoon we went to the Eden’s garden for a short time & then by 5 were back in Venice to go to Countess Brandolin to hear a M. du Bled give a lecture on the Ladies in France of the XVIIIth century. We arrived just in time & found the sala full of Italian ladies all seated & M. du Bled began a rather rigmaroly dissertation over the theme which lasted about an hour– After it was over we partook of tea & refreshments & I exchanged greetings with many Italian ladies—all the Venetian society being still here. At 7 I went off with Baker to the Sailor’s Institute to the evening service and walked back with Mr Harston who was very anxious about his boy who has fever. I found Eda Alderson & Mrs B. Muller still at dinner when I got back & joined them. | |
