Rose a little earlier, determined, if possible, to take G. out for 2 or 3 days ― but it looked very threatening & black. Benouville & one Bellet came to look at the paintings. As the weather cleared, we went off at 9½ in a carriage ― & waited at the Frascati Railroad till 10.40, when we were off: & at the post of the hill in some 17 or 20 minutes ― & an omnibus took us up. At the gates, I found Wilson was there. I & G. went to the Inn & got rooms, & then to the V. Conti & its fountains, & frogs. Met Wilson, who seemed to think it odd I could not join his party: he is potius aper. Then, had some lunch, ― & G. & I set out about 1 upwards, by rather a giro1 of roads ― (for I missed the way) to Toscolo: where we found violets, & ruins ― far more than in my time, ― & finally the theatre, which pleased poor G. ― & he began to get more allegro.2 It was windy ― & a dull [rainy] day ― but he saw a small ship on the sea beyond Pratica. Then by the Camaldoli, & V. Falconieri ― & Taverna, & Mondragone ―― the whole of many years seeming to come back again.By 6½ at Frascati, & now, 7 ― ελπιζα να γευματισω.3

δυνατον να κοιμη δη τις
εξαιτιας των σκηληων ―
(η απω τα σκηλα.) ― και τα λοιπα4
