Sunday 20th November
Had a meeting of Manama Baharnis to get subscriptions for the school & mosque at Suk al Khamis. They promised almost
5000 rupees, a useful sum. Afterwards to the Customs & then to the office of the diving accounts clerk where I looked over a
lot of account books. Altogether I think the season was 15/- 20% better than last year. Got home rather late for lunch. Lovely
cool weather now, a shamaal blowing. Went to tea at the Pennings & then to church in the evening. Cant bear the mission
service - it was quite exceptionally badly done & a deadly dull disconnected sermon by Pennings. The Parkes came to dinner,
played Bridge. We won. Parke always gets annoyed when he loses.
Monday 21st [November]
Court in the morning. Over 30 cases. We are very busy these days. Tennis at the mission in the afternoon.
