Extremely hot day. Breakfast with the F.s ― & long talk with D. ― Came away from them at 2. ―

Rail ― 2.25 ― 4.30 ― to town ― & Cab ― 5 to Seymour St. ―

At 7 walked across the park ― to Lady Grey’s. Poor Lady Grey’s memory seems quite gone, at 84, no wonder.

The dinner was not pleasant. Mr. Mrs. & Miss Robertson ― all vulgar toady people. Mr. Ellis, Lady Dover’s son. Afterwards, Mrs. Lane Fox ― & other Grey’s. & Sir James Latakia.
