Drew 60\u00a3 from Drummonds<\/a><\/p>\n

Very dark. \u2015 Could not work. Looked out 48 drawings to mount.<\/p>\n

W.F. Beadon<\/a> came. \u2015\u2015 Pouring rain.<\/p>\n

At 1 went to Drummond\u2019s, & paid Jones & Roberson. Called on the Welds<\/a> \u2015 AT<\/a> there: & asked to dine.<\/p>\n

Awful slush & pouring rain.<\/p>\n

Home\u2026 at 5.30 \u2015 to Burlington House.<\/p>\n

Little Agnes is a nice child. \u2015 Mrs. Weld bores me always, by want of tact; \u2015 \u201cincense\u201d \u2015 & perpetual appeal to an Egotism I don\u2019t possess. I suppose it is owing to their being constantly among people who require this unction. \u2015 At dinner \u2015 things were more tolerable: \u2015 I fear though, I said more than was wise as to my feelings about Lebanon etc. \u2015 After dinner, some fine views of the Himalaya were shown. \u2015 Then came a Mrs. M\u00e1jendie<\/a> [Lady Franklin<\/a>\u2019s sister],1<\/a><\/sup> a sharp bittery old dame. \u03a0\u03bf\u1fd6, singing \u2015\u2015\u2015 & while trying to arrange the notes on a horrible piano, \u2015 saith the old dame \u2015 \u201cI thought I was to hear singing \u2015 what is all this prelude about? \u2015\u201d<\/p>\n

I sang 2 or 3 things, & I must say AT was very nice & unusually placid, which I am happy to see. \u2015 But the \u201csphere\u201d was not \u201cconvenient.\u201d \u2015<\/p>\n

Ach! Ach! Ach!<\/p>\n

It is of no use to think of \u039b\u03bf\u03cd\u03c3\u03b9\u03be\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd: \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u1f78\u03c2 \u1f00\u03c0\u03ad\u03b8\u03b1\u03bd\u03b5 \u03b4\u03b9\u1f70 \u1f10\u03bc\u03ad:3<\/a><\/sup> \u2015<\/p>\n
