Quite fine.
Rose at 6. G. ― who came in at 5 ― says Karalambi is better, but has fever. ―
Worked at Grenfell’s Philæ ― not ill.
Mr. & Mrs. Barr, & Mr. & Mrs. Clark came, but Mrs. Longhman not ― which is a bore. ―
At 2 I lunched: fell asleep: woke ― & X8 so the tally will keep at the third day still, all I can do.
There are games below Condi Terrace, ― to see which I have sent out G. ― But I knew not what to do myself.
At 5 ― I walked out & observed jumpings &c. Then to the Kokali home, where I saw poor little pretty Καραλάμπι, who is better, but I doubt his ever living to be strong & well.
I saw ˇ[the] good old mother too ― who said ― “Δὲν εἶμαι τόσον καλὰ, διὰ γεράμματα”1 ― a real good woman that.
Walked up to the Casino & back by 7.20.
Dined.
G. went to his house ― poor fellow.
I penned out till 11[.]
