Rose at 6. ―
Got 25£ from Taylor. Breakfast with the 2 Fosters at 9. ―
at 11.30. drove with them to Κυνοπιάστες, ― but Villetta was not at home. (I asked Luard to dine ― first, & left a note for G. with the Παραμυθιόττι.) We drove also to Cupido’s fountn. Home by 1.30, & found G. had not had the letter given him by the Παρα= but had gone out. So I fumed & worried till 4.30. when he came in, & said he could dine L. & me at 8 ― Whereat ― at 5 ― I went out ― walking with the Fosters ―― wonderful sky ― & no end of rainbows: ― [at ]1 .15 came Luard. At 10. bed.
