6 June 1909 — Ca’ Capello, Venice | |
Sunday. 6th June [1909]. To morning service. A young Mr Oppenheim has been sent out to fill the interregnum of chaplains—a feeble looking youth who however startled us by making troubling remarks on the frequent doubt of the doctrine of the Trinity. This being Trinity Sunday. Otherwise he preached well & extempore. I took Herbert to dine at the Calcina this eveng having no cook at home a fact I did not confide to him. I did the same thing the next day. He is enjoying his visit to Venice most vastly—his great pleasure being going many times a day to the Piazza. He went one evening to the Morosini house but neither admired her nor her ways & avoided playing bridge there. The first thing she said to him was her regret she could not come to my Tuesday eveng receptions as I neither allowed bridge playing or smoking. I say in what decent lady’s drawing room do men & women smoke all the evening. | |
