Stormy ― west wind ― & high.

Spiro is better again.

Wrote to Ellen, & to Mrs. W.F. Beadon, till 1.30[.]

By 2.15 ― reached Spiro’s ― dirty & wet, for it rained.

Spiro is somewhat better, but I feel by no means ˇ[feel] assured of his total recovery. There were all the family except Ἰωάννι, & Χριζὸς. ― Τατιαννὲ was there ― a woman with great grace of form ― & fine make ― & a beautiful face. Fancy George having said a word of his wife ― the ancient dodger! Returned by 3.

Church at 3.30. Craven preached ― & not badly.

Afterwards called on the Decies ― & ate Lemons. ―

“Home” by 6 & dressed ― & to Sir C. Sargent’s ―

Pleasant evening ― only A.D.V. is too absurdly dreamy & abstracted=bosy[.] Sung AT. ―

Home by 11.
