Monday [1 November]
The Cyclamen called in. Played tennis at Agency, but dined at Agency too. Deadly dull. They played an
out of tune gramophone. Also present Armstrong & Robinson, the latter lately seems exceedingly depressed.
Tuesday [2 November]
Awfully busy day, never stopped working all day. After lunch the Shaikh came in from Muharraq & I
discussed arrangements with him for a couple of hours, after which we called on Barrett & he then left. I
went along to Mespers to fetch M who was playing tennis. Had a game of Bridge.
The Shaikh rather amused me by having a carpet brought into my office suddenly saying his prayers there.
Was asked to an Arab dinner but declined. Did my packing in evening. Finally very tired indeed.
Wednesday 3rd Nov.
