GE Journal, London, 20 May-9 June 1863
MS: Yale. Extracts published: Cross, II, 354.
Mr. and Mrs. Bray lunched with us.
Sunday.
We went to St. Mary's Moorfields in the morning, and heard Beethoven's Mass in C and Cardinal Wiseman's 160 wretched Sermon on the Day of Pentecost. Coming home, we found Mrs. Bray waiting for us. Drove her to Hampstead.
Heavy and good for nothing. Only at p. 18.
June 1.
I have not yet finished Romola, and am made stupid and depressed by a slight cough. I have written up to the moment when Tessa and the children are taken home by Romola. 161
June 6.
We had a little evening party, with music, intended to celebrate the completion of Romola, which however is not absolutely completed, for I have still to alter the Epilogue.
Sunday.
Ill with hemicrania, unable to do anything all day.
* 8.
Still suffering from my cough and headache.
Tuesday.
Put the last stroke to Romola. Ebenezer! Went in the evening to hear La Gazza Ladra. 162
