Came home: found a letter to me from that strange madman. On opening it, it proved a mere envelope, containing a visiting-card with the name St. George upon it. After dinner, wrote journal; went and sat with Mrs. —— till coffee-time. I have had a most dreadful side-ach all day.

At half-past five, went to the theatre. Play, Much Ado about Nothing; farce, Katharine and Petruchio.

At the end I was so tired, and so overcome with the side-ach, that I lay down on the floor perfectly done up.
Friday, 28th.
After breakfast, —— called. Settled to ride, if possible, to-morrow. I would give the world for a good shaking. I'm dying of the blue devils: I have no power to rouse myself.
