Not a very happy day to end the month with. ―

After breakfast ― lessons ― & paying Lascaratos ― I went out to get some paper ― & then worked by fits all day. No one came ― but letters from V. Crake, C. Fortescue, & A. Seymour ―. A Dunn Gardner’s pamphlet from F.L. which I read. ― I did not go out again. Poor Giorgio is very cross ― & I don’t think he’ll stop here. ― As for me ― I dined, & worked at Greek. ― 3 pages of Modern, & 5 lines of Homer ― till 10. ― I see no way before me. ―
