17 April 1904 — Bologna | |
Sunday. 17th [April 1904]. Packed early & breakfasted at 9 & then sauntered out with Mrs B. Muller & Pss Charlotte to some of the small antiquity shops but found nothing, except a small old Venetian hand lantern which I got for 5 lire. We lunched all together the P. & Pss, the 3 Malagolas & Mrs B. Muller & I & then went to the station to leave for Venice by the 1.50 train. We left the Prince & Prof: Malagola at Bologna to see more churches & to follow us to Venice by a later train & they did not get there before 11 P.M. On the journey Mme Malagola was feeling very ill & Princess Charlotte prescribed a regime for her beginning in the early morning with a glass of hot water containing a pinch of salt & some nourishment every 2 hours. She promised to try it. In the evening we went out in 2 boats to hear a serenade which Mrs Prinsep had arranged in aid of the Cosmopolitan Hospital. She played finely on the piano & Signor Rava on the violin. He is a young Jew with a decided talent for music. Sir Hubert Miller & Thoby Prinsep sang a duet. They collected abt 8 lire. It was quite a success. All the serenaders came in to tea with us afterwards. | |
