4 February 1908 — 3 Savile Row | |
Tuesday. 4th [February 1908]. I walked to 35 Grosvenor Square by 1.30 to luncheon with the D. & Dss of Somerset to meet poor Sir Edward Poynter who was out for the 1st time after the operation to his eye. He seemed depressed & not to see well. He goes tomorrow to Torquay & on his return is to have an operation done on the other eye. At 3 the Dss took me out in her carriage & we went & left cards on many friends, hers & mine. She brought me home by 5. Cornelia who is up from Canford for a night, came to tea & Blanche came to meet her. She gives an improved account of Ivory & said that if I liked to go down to Canford to see him I could go on 15th wh I settled to do. I am afraid it will be mostly pain to see him much altered. I had a dinner party—Sir Henry & Lady Alderson, Mr & Mrs Gaston Sargent, Nora Hallé, Hallam Murray, the Honble Sydney Glyn & the 2 Wylds 10 in all. A pleasant [evening] & they did not depart till 11 p.m. | |
