The motor broke down on the way...

Lady Hariot Dufferin

Diplomat's wife and philanthropist

Had Lady Slacke & Lady Teignmouth to lunch. Before they left Dorothea Plunket & Nelly Rhodes came in. Both very smart. They came to help me choose a Jubilee coat! First to [illegible] much too expensive and then to Harvey Nichols. Acquired one there […] the motor broke down on the way and we all went home in taxis.
