Rose earlier than usual. ― walked ― (coldish!) to Coleman’s & asked him to dine. Returned ― & breakfast, & G.’s lesson. & worked at Lady R.’s Jerusalem ― till Page came, & so on, the going through the sketches &c. ― till 2. ― It was after that that Stockdale came. S.W.C. went away ― his frittered life seems sad, & prejudicial. ― As for me, I too am unhappy with all this fuss & bother. ― Worked again & better ― till 4½, & was going out, when Lady Stratford sent a note asking me ― forsooth, ― to lend her a Persian Rug ― & one to meet [Count] Antonelli! ― what puerile imbecility. ―

So I packed up the rug in a rugged mood, & wrote a rugged note ― & sent it. Then called on P.W. ― & on Terry ― & “the little Girl” ― all out: ― then on the Marshalls ― oh! so dreamy & queer! what must be Charmside’s life there? Home, ― & at 6½ came Coleman ― poor fellow ― (with some beautiful φοτογραφς ―) & dined ―. He is very good & amiable ― poor Coleman: ― after all, why does one say “poor” ― when in fact he is richer & better than you any way? ―
So the fathers fell asleep ― & I am to write some Gk.
