Calm ― gray ― fine.
Accounts.
Worked at 3 Corfûs.
At 2.30 came the Trieste boat, with a glass ― I saw Miss J. Goldsmid & her party.
But the Vessel was declared in Quarantine by some Ionian bother, & it was 4 before they got out.
Called at their Hotel & saw Julia Goldsmid.
Walked from 5 to 6.30 ― by Kastrades, & to sea, home. ―
Dined.
Penned out till 10.30.

Dreadful night, from a rat gnawing a hole through from the drain into my bedroom. ill.
