_Saturday, Nov. 26th_.
LADY VER went off early to the station, to catch her train to
Northumberland this morning, and I hardly saw her to say good-bye. She
seemed out of temper too, on getting a note, she did not tell me whom
it was from, or what it was about--only she said immediately after,
that I was not to be stupid. “Do not play with Christopher further,”
she said, “or you will lose him. He will certainly go and see you
to-morrow--he wrote to me this morning in answer to mine of last
night--but he says he won’t go to the Zoo--so you will have to see him
in your sitting-room after all--he will come about four.”
