HIS DAYStaying at The Wharf, Sutton Courtney. Entertaining Edwin Montagu ('The Assyrian')
Londonⓘ
HER DAYLikely in London (or just outside it) for the weekend, in Asquith’s orbit—keeping close enough for a planned motor drive/meeting with him soon after.. Social round typical of her May 1914 pattern: house visits and/or an evening engagement (Asquith refers to seeing her at a hostess’s gathering and arranging a drive).. Awaiting/adjusting travel plans (“postponed your journey”), i.e., not yet gone away from town.
