Monday 10th [January]
No Court but a busy morning going over accounts & letters. The car is being painted in parts so out of use. Ghaus came
round in the afternoon & later we went to tennis at the mission. Quite good tennis, then tea at the Hakkens where the baby
was exhibited. The child is painfully ugly - one really cannot pretend to admire it. Pickering came in after tea.
Tuesday 10th Jan [11]
Court in the morning, 17 cases. Went to Spences in the afternoon. As usual S talked shop to me about the bridge. He really
is tiresome in that way always talking shop at private entertainments. He seemed very triumphant at Kanoo taking part in
the question, I imagine S called on him & urged him to do so though previously they were on bad terms. Parke came back to
dinner & we discussed the question of the bridge. What a place this is for rows & intrigues.
