Last Saturday I went up to Mrs. Árva’s for a fitting, took some of my dresses on Thursday. The blue coat was ready and very well done. It is collarless now. Had to wait for her for quite a while, had a good chat with their guest from the country, jus preparing for some exams. She is quite a nice…

A lecture in the Külügyi on Friday. Rather good and short. Was late again. Went to Marietta’s yesterday night. Michael better it seems, though still in bed, but they are starting the massaging, so it means a step towards improvement. I’m glad. I do wonder if the poor boy will be fit for my plans and…

We went to the Ptia (?) this morning with Father, which I thought quite unnecessary and made me nervous. – Went to Father Omer. later on and told him all about the left ones and other doubts on that account. I believe I’m quite alright now at last, but really I’m completely at loss when I look at…

On Sunday Martha + family were here. Little Ervin unwell, so they were some quiter than usually. I quite enjoyed the kids. In the evening the little one gave us quite a fright. He was feverish as he woke up with a start didn’t recognize any of us. Poor kid. He got better later. They went home in a…

Went to a lecture on Elocution. It was grand fun. Really like playacting. I nearly had a fit. I’m going to the farther ones too. The man who is giving the lectures is still quite young, I expected him to be an elderly actor. There was about 30 of us men + women. Quite elderly ones too and some young…

A very good lecture about the Roumanian situation in reference to the minorities, etc. at the Society for Foreign Affairs. Marietta’s young brother very ill.

Went to an English lecture by a Sir Charles Petrie. It was not very interesting, though in the end he made some remarks which were most enlightening. The man reminded me of our dear Her Hittler (sic!) exciter that was. Tall, sleek and dark. Voice good, way of speaking rather nice. People here are…

Another disagreement with dear Leon. Think of putting an end to all, but never really manage to. Lack of moral courage or the real i.e. great feeling I wonder. – Lecture in the Külügyi Társ., Mr Eöttevényi. Spoke about the North Hungary problem, or rather it’s past + present + future prospects. Met…

Nothing special last week. Been to a lecture in the Association of Foreign Affaires. Most interesting. Met an old admirer too amongst them, who proposed to show me the dark side of our town, most appropriately, the slums. – Poor old Miss Jerstandl (?) next door died on Monday, the men, Colonel +…

A rather good lecture at the Parliement Museum on the Carpetho-Ruthens. Was not at all keen to go, only went on as a duty to my s.w.p. but found it very interesting. The place too. There were quite many people.
