Left London Aug. 8 Monday,
2:30.
Arrived Windsor by train (Paddington) 3:20 PM. White Hart
rooms 5/ 6 meals most expensive and an air of graft which irritated me.
--Viewed the castle and very imposing grounds.
Left Tuesday at 2:30 P.M.
for steam boat trip on the Thames--to Henly--arrived 7:15 P.M.
This trip is decidedly not
to be missed--
The beautiful homes and the
estate of Astor--Cliveden--are a sight perhaps no where else to be seen in just
in such a state of symmetrical beauty. The flowers particularly were so profuse
and gay in color on the perfect lawns.
Arrived in Oxford 9:45 P.M.
Mike and I both cold and head-aching.
And here was the evil-charm, the land which I shall not mention, as I hope to
forget such a place exists. No--I do not for it was an event I shall
likely never see in such another similar sphere.

What
was the “evil-charm”? What “event”?
Will
we ever know?
