Off at 6.30 in a carriage, fissato1<\/a><\/sup> by Giorgio<\/a> for 10fr. Arrived at Lucca \u2015 8.45. The drive is very pretty: \u2015 that great down like turf covered mountain, all chesnut grown \u2015 is a sight. The people too seem so industrious & respectable. Found 3 letters: \u2015 one from Fanny Coombe<\/a> \u2015 poor Mrs. Drewitt<\/a> of Peppering is dead. From Mrs. Empson<\/a> \u2015 kind dear good woman: C. Empson also is dead. And from Sybella Mildmay<\/a> \u2015 very nice & good. \u2015 Wrote letters to,<\/p>\n R.D. Drewitt. Dined at 12.<\/p>\n Afterwards read Jack Hinton2<\/a><\/sup> & slept till 4. Then walked to see the Agor\u0101, & S. Frediano \u2015 where a priest was assuring his hearers that Eretici & Schismatici were the property of the Demonio, & it was solo dalla grazia di Dio that \u201cnoi, veri Cattolici non siamo di loro.\u201d3<\/a><\/sup> O Christianity! \u2015\u2015 Walked slowly twice round the Ramparts, & at 6.30 drew the Carrara mountains as well as I could \u2015 but they are cloudy. \u2015<\/p>\n Home by 8.30.
