Mon. Jan 29th
SSlept late and and Sl called up early to insist on my going with him to lunch at the Thomas house with Mr T. to day. I did a lot of things and was ready for him at I'3o.  Extraordinary place and person. A young man tall and charming. with fine dark eyes and the whole thing a gothic dream. We had lunch at end of long table. and he showed us everythi all over the house including the wine cellar where hams were hanging. .. and his great green tiled bath. Was determined that Sl and I should dine there on tues instea of Sl with me. so we arranged it. I left soon and came home to rest and had a fine one.  Jack came and was reconciled . Harry had changed the tickets for Sumurum where he and I were going and we three dined downstairs and went off in taxi very jolly. Did not care VERY much for it, Gestures only are continuously interesting. though the oriental color and mucic were pretty good. Taxi again .. and Jack came up and smoked. 
Tues Jan 30th.
Worked on Mr Clement and got three pics off to Wash .. Quite a relief.and clearance. A good deal of writing and fussing to do about many things. These are stirring times I am dizzy.  Went in to 24 for the first time in many days and was greeted as the "debutante". Had much to tell. Got my self off but was late going in to the "little milionaires". Found it looking exquisite and the others there. Prince Pierre TroubetsKoy.. the painter ..husband of Amelie Rives.. Mr A Talbot Jones very dainty friend of Sl a young Russian and the  french artist Hoffbauer I met at the Wilkie fiasco. a Miss Courtney very proper and mild to make it convenable. I suppose but she seemed to be an ahabitue. A Mrs Williams came after the chaperone I suppose. I sat between Prince T and Sl. Delightful talk about my Fathere chiefly and religion that is Piety ', This was all charming but we went on after to a Mrs Guiness' rather doubtful.. I think The slave girl from Sumurun a very modest German girl was ther and Mme Simone. [[underlined]] Many much dressCd and not very alluring people.[[/underlined]] Fine old house on N Wash Sq. Home very late and said goodbye to Sl.
