We did not leave till 4 when I took Mr Brown & Montalba in gondola to their own houses in the Zattere. Went in to see the Misses Montalba & took tea with them. From there to our church where the Canon wanted to fetch documents– He went home in the gondola. I went on foot. Dined at 7.30 & then went back to the Institute where there was the usual weekly concert & some of the men sang & played well. | |
