They wanted me to stay, but I could not face dressing, in the morning.

So I felt my way home and only got lost twice.

The Arch on Constitution Hill gave me much trouble.

I thought it was the Marble Arch, and hence-- In Jermyn Street I saw two lamps burning dimly and a voice said, hearing my footsteps "where am I?
I don't know where I am no more than nothing--" I told him he was in Jermyn Street with his horse's head about twenty feet from St.James-- There was a long dramatic silence and then the voice said-- "Well, I be blowed I thought I was in Pimlico!!!" This has been such a long letter that I shall have to skip any more.

I have NO sciatica chiefly because of the fur coat, I think, and I got two Christmas presents, one from Margaret Fraser and one from the Duchess of Sutherland-- Boxing Day I took Margaret to the matinee of the Pantomine and it lasted five hours, until six twenty, then I dressed and dined with the Hay's and went with them to the Barnum circus which began at eight and lasted until twelve.
