H.E. went to church in state, with Bombay Lancers as outriders & scarlet liveries etc. I had a walk to the pass overlooking Poona. Got back in time for the Sunday parade of all the horses at the stables at midday. Some very fair horses & polo ponies. Rain showers were frequent. After tea I went to the lawn-tennis courts to watch play, & then took Mr. Wilson (American Consul in Bombay) for a walk to the top a hill [sic] giving a fine view over Poona. Parbati Hill with its Durga temple showed up well. View fine all round. Small dinner-party in evening. I played billiards with Col. Heathcote (in command at Deol Ali) who has a house near Banbury. As I was leaving early next morning, I said goodbye to Sir George Lloyd, who had been extremely kind & hospitable, also to the genial & courteous staff (Major Vaux, Captains Rawstorne, Carmichael, Byron & Aird). Packed & turned in after midnight. |
