Saturday, _November 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 who 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 come 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."
