19 November 1910 — Ca’ Capello, Venice | |
Saturday. 19th [November 1910]. I went out in the morng at 10 in gondola with Lord K. to the Academy to show him round the pictures. He does not understand much about it & did not linger long. We walked from there along the Zattere to the Frari & went into the Church– & then to the Ch. of S. Tomà where the Frari Bellini & other pictures are kept while the repairs of the Frari are going on—& we got home just at lunch time, I rather tired. It was a lovely day & Lord K., Eda & Nela were glad to go out in H. Whitaker’s motor boat. I joined the party about 4 in the Piazza & thence took Lord K. to the Edens where we had tea. They were very pleased to make his acquaintance & Lord K. like dear old Mr Eden & made himself very to him. Mme Wiel & Sir Hubert Miller came in also & H. Whitaker & Nela Du Cane. Lady Radnor, the Prefect (Count Nasalli Rocca), Mrs Curtis & Mr Latimer (her nephew), Hugh Whitaker dined with us. | |
