Felt pretty tired after my trip of yesterday so had b’fast in bed and did not go down till 10. Then washed out my night dress and hung it out on the balcony to dry.
Had a talk with Miss Wood about rooms. It will cost from $55 to $60 a month here - two in a room - if we come here next winter - fully $60 with fire for you pay for your own fuel.
After lunch I started for the Forum to attend a lecture by Dr. Raymond. I was late in getting there so missed the lecture but wandered around the ruins for two hours and a half and with the aid of Baedeker understood the place fully well. A keeper showed me the new excavations for which I gave him four cents.
Was beguiled into buying two sets of Roman postcards for 85 cents.
Spent part of the evening in the living room talking to Miss Patterson.
Finished a silly old novel called Marriage by Miss Ferrier*, a distinct imitation of Evalina.
*Susan Edmonstone Ferrier, “Marriage,” 1818.
