Monday 22nd December
Court, very late going as had work to do, an article to paper about municipal election trying to stir up more
interest.
Went to library & then cocktail party at Jacksons, rather a dull affair.
Tuesday 23rd December
Office, busy morning, meant to go & see Snow but couldnt get away. Innumerable people came in, Y
Fuhroo re Zagani's estate & various others.
Some rain in evening.
Sh Abdulla b Hamed came in while I was gardening, looking very queer with layers & layers of clothes,
though quite a warm day, to say he was going to India, being angry at having to step back & let his dear
brother Daij resume court work. I am sorry, A is better in court D being practically illiterate but I am not
sympathetic as A of his own accord left the court in a sulk & now he cant get back again. All the young men
think of nothing but the pay - if it was honourary nobody would want to sit on it.
Went to Xmas party at Catholic church then a rehearsal & dinner at Steeles.
Wednesday 24th December
Gray day & showers of rain.
