Walter is off to see
Lord de Tabley on his estate where he will no doubt be trotted out; he takes great pleasure in seeing Walter committed to his profession; he describes plans for the next couple of days involving
Edith, Annie, Mary Russell, William [Robinson] and
Julia; would rather not accept guests while James is their servant;
Inglis is out of sorts,
Ogle will see him, Giles says it is because he mixes his drinks; he has received birthday letters from the children.
