Court. Drove out in afternoon & dined at the Russells. Shaikh Mohammad came in to see me & was
tiresome as usual asking for money. He is more often aggrieved than anyone I know. He is a mixture of
conceit & meanness & has a mania for discussing illnesses. He goes away every summer for a holiday and
an operation which he describes for the rest of the year. He went to seven different doctors in Cairo last time,
& probably didn't pay any of them. Had some good Bridge at the Russells.
