18 November 1907 — Paris | |
Monday. 18th [November 1907]. I took leave of Angela Reinelt whose guest I have been in Paris & left by 10 o’cl train for London where I arrived at 5 after a perfectly calm passage. Bessborough kindly sent his motor brougham to the station to fetch me & with it a note to say Connie wanted me to dine with her tonight as she was giving a party to celebrate her son Eddie’s engagement to Clare Philips & he wd take me there in the motor if I wd go. I agree to this & he fetched me & took me to 8 Onslow Gardens. I met the bride elect & her father & mother Mr & Mrs Philips. Eddie was not there as he had retired into a nursing home to have a cyst cut out of his neck. The Philips invited me down to Montacute for the wedding on 3rd Decr & I accepted. I got home after 11 very tired. Clare Philips seems a nice bright girl & Eddie has been taken into partnership as a solicitor by her uncle, wh makes the marriage possible. | |
