1 January 1908 — 3 Savile Row | |
Wednesday. 1st January [1908]. Here I am at 3 Savile Row by myself having returned yesterday from my visit to Tatton Park. I was busy all the morning sorting & answering letters. Having breakfasted in bed at 8—read my Times & letters & dressed & downstairs by 10. It is pretty cold weather & E. wind. Connie Eliot came to lunch with me & discussed & arranged for the making of Venetian bead chains wh we both make & sell for the benefit of the Cosmopolitan Hospital at Venice, a profitable thing for last year I made in that way £60. At 3 o’cl I went out for a walk, Connie having gone home. I walked to S. Audley St but found myself very lame, my right knee being very rheumatic. I met by chance Dacre Du Cane & his wife walking. She is a buxom middle aged woman—not bad looking. I crawled on till I got to Bruton St where I called on Sir Wm & Lady Humphrey chatted awhile & then proceeded home & had 5 o’cl tea alone wrote more letters & then went off at ¼ to 8 to 8 Onslow Gardens & dined with Connie. The Eddie Eliots just back from Venice & their honeymoon are staying there. Bee at home & Ernie also dined there. Home by 11 & bed after a quiet New Years Day wh I prefer to the hurry of usual London life. | |
