HER DAYLikely in London, moving in her usual social круг and being hard to pin down by letter (no reply to Asquith; he says he is ‘quite in the dark’ about her week).. Probably attending (or preparing for) society dinners/parties; Asquith only knows she had been ‘dining with the Lyells’ and hints at a ball.. In communication with Asquith (as recipient of his letter of 19 May), but not seeing him that day; he is trying to arrange time together later in the week (Friday afternoon).
