Up for 1/2 hour at 7 1/2, went to bed again and not up the whole day – Breakfast in bed between 10 and 11 – Took about 1/3 of a bun and 2 small basins of tea – Miss Hobart came to me, and 3 or 5 times afterwards during the Day – and some orangeade she made me in the afternoon was cooling and refreshing –
Letter
from Lady Stuart de Rothesay, Wimpole, which could not very well see to read –
Letter enclosed for Miss H-
Dinner
in bed at 7 – a little mashed potato and Sago pudding, of each of which, took a
little and slept afterwards, as I had done before great part of the Day –
Fine
day – but rain began I should think about
5,
and afterwards, good deal of rain in the evening and night – very high wind, Miss H- said all the day –
Mr.
Stuart arrived at 11, and staid the whole day –
At one, incurred
a cross thinking of Mrs. Barlow by way of thinking of someone. Somehow, my mind is off Mariana and does not
return. Be Miss H’s manners what they
may, I have given up all serious of Miss H- at any rate. Better Lady Gordon, but something or other
will turn out – In fact, on being sleepy and getting into bed again this
morning, thought to myself, well, what a glorious opportunity of missing Mr.
Stuart, and so I lay in bed all the day. But my bowels are bad. That is all wrong again as ever, and I
have worried myself about Miss H till I have not been quite right and sitting
up the two last nights did me no good --
