Drove in the afternoon, the TTs came in later in the evening. Bill, I thought, seemed rather subdued.
Hugh Weightman arrived in the evening, I met him at the pier & brought him along, the Smiths were calling.

Weather rather hot, slept in doors but decided to go up to the roof.
Wednesday 8th October
Continuation of calls.
Russell Browns came to call & the Godfreys, had to leave them. Dinner at Rafaa, just ourselves & HW & a
few of the family, a very pleasant little party & an excellent meal. Sulman very talkative, mostly about
politics & the affairs in India, he & Hugh argued a lot & both seemed to enjoy it. Stayed quite late,
beautifully dry & cool out there, the children were present, little Mohammed very friendly.
