Londonⓘ
HER DAYMost likely in London for the week (social round rather than travel): dinner/party-going, including having dined (or being expected to dine) with the Lyells, and keeping herself available for an arranged private outing with Asquith later in the week (he is trying to secure Friday afternoon with her).. Correspondence/liaison activity: she was not writing to Asquith as often as he wanted; he complains on 19 May that he is “quite in the dark” about her plans “this week,” implying she was moving about London society without giving him a fixed itinerary.
