The Henson Journals

[117]

Friday, August 19th, 1910. Pitnacree.

The weather was dull & dropping all the morning, and surprisingly fine in the afternoon. I wrote some letters including one to Mrs Tait. The 'Scotsman' announces the death of the Dean of Lincoln. After finishing my letters I talked on religious questions for an hour with the young man, McQueeny, who is staying here.

In the afternoon Mrs Glassford Bell drove us to Pitlochry, where she wished to attend a Flower show & Sale of Work. The last I declined, & walked with Lady Bowden Smith to her house, where we all afterwards had tea. Then Miss Graeme, the youth, and I walked back over the hill, putting up a red deer by the way, and getting the most glorious views. On the road I succeeded in losing my umbrella, probably while I was attempting to take a photograph.

Walter Smith arriver at dinner time.

I read through a grotesque book 'A lost cause' by Guy Thorne. There is a certain interest in it as showing the views held & expressed among the Ritualists.
