On Sunday we go to General Sir Arthur and Lady Paget's for lunch and in the
evening we dine with Mr. Burdett-Coutts. On Monday there is a large dinner at
the Embassy, but I declined to go. On Tuesday we go to Ascot to the races, on
Wednesday to the luncheon with Sir Edward Grey, and in the evening to dinner with
Mr. Robert Fleming, the London financier. There is a busy time in prospect for

tions for myself.
