7 July 1910 — Ca’ Capello, Venice | |
Thursday. 7th [July 1910]. Today Ola left Venice for Ammergau & was joined by Miss Bowyer at the station. They have gone to see the Passion Play acted by the peasants every ten years in accordance with an ancient vow. It has now become a regular sight to which hordes of Americans flock & is exploité by Messrs Cook of the Tourists office so it is losing its old meaning. I accompanied Ola to the station & when she was gone I returned to my quiet empty house & not sorry to be alone & to rest for a while. At 4 I went out in gondola to the Eden’s garden. After dinner I had a visit from Mara Cappelli who stayed for an hour’s chat. | |
