If possible, clearer & lovelier all day, than ever before. It certainly is a wonderfully beautiful place. Rose at 6. At 7½ went to Bollands ― & fixed to take those Line Wall rooms, the expense of the Kastrades house is less ― but it would involve keeping another servant ― as being so far […]
Bright & clear ― North wind, & perfection of beauty. Rose at 7. At 9 breakfast. ― To Taylors ― & to the Palace, answering invitation to dine on Friday. At Bollands, I hear no answer, but returning, see Bolland himself who says I can have the house but that he cannot go out for […]
I woke at 4 ― as the anchor was thrown down opposite Paramythide’s house ― in Corfû harbour. The steam ― or pumps ― “chi so?”1 ― seemed to say, Dŏ nŏt fŏrgēt Dŏ nŏt fŏrgēt Dŏ nŏt fŏrgēt ― interminably, ― & I could but (Whittington like) seal the [fang], as to dearest Ann, […]
Wind always against us. Ill, & suffering from head & nerves horribly. The company are all pleasant. The Captain also particularly so. But I could not join at meals at all. Towards 2 or 3 P.M. ― (when we ought to have been at Corfu ―) great wind began, & the good Europa went up […]

Morning very lovely & quite clear. Wrote a letter to C.F. & packed: & at 12 paid bill, & came on board the Austrian Lloyd Steamer, Europa. ― good berth. ― Passengers ― Greek Consul at Salonica (K. Naum) Baron Alten ― Hanoverian, going (rather a day late) to congratulate K. Otto on his 25th […]
It was daylight by 7 ― & the long Trieste Gulf: ― at 7.20 we reached the Railway, & I was glad of a bath, & a breakfast. After which, I took a place to Corfû ― for 6£ ― whatever be the weather, it is better to risk it than stay here. ― But […]
Railway ― Rose at 6 resolved to be early enough. This Herzog Karl house is very attentive & good: ― tho’ all Wien Hotels seem to me stuffy & cramped ― as needs must be. ― At 7 went off with the “luggage” ――― what hideous worlds of gt. domino houses are they building all […]
