(A dreadful headache all day from some particular ale ― of which I only drank one glass yesterday.)
At 3 Mrs. Davidson ― her son ― a very prepossessing intelligent youth ―& her daughters Father in law ― one Mr. Coen ― τὶ ὅμματα εἶχε!1 ― came & looked at the Cedars. At 4 I walked out ― a round by Weybridge & back. Gloomy day ― but not frightfully disgusting ― windless & rainless τουλάχιστον.2 Wrote Greek a good deal ― lee-way of Thucydides.
Dinner. Evening ―
Wrote to Mrs. Musters: & Greek.
