don't know whether there are any others. This
afternoon we are going in the carriage to join
Lady Kintore, and then we go on to a country
road, and Lady Kintore and Dot are to take some
tea. It is quite a small affair, chiefly to gather
ferns, there are a good many on that road. Evey
and I are just going to have a walk ; I am going
out in the little carriage. I have been a good deal
on the saddle lately, and have had many beautiful
views from the hills. Last night we had two
tremendous peals of thunder, a very odd storm ;
the lightning was very forked, but there only seemed
to be two of them. Last Thursday afternoon Dot,
Libby and I drove to Antibes, and heard the band ;
it was very pretty. Evey rode the same afternoon
with Mr. Campbell. Antibes is such an odd-
looking little fortified town. Coming back we
had a lovely view of Nice and the Alps, at
least we could only see a little bit of the Alps,
because there was a mist over them. Coming
back, Dot got out and got some tulips. The
field where she got them from was almost scarlet
with them.
(About one o'clock.) We have just come in from
a walk in time for the rain. I suppose the thunder-
shower we had last night will break up the weather
for a day or two. There is such a delicious breeze
down on the Croisette off the sea. We took little
Papillion out ; he is beginning to follow very
well.
