Opportunity is in respect to time, in some sense, as time is in respect to Eternity.

Ella and I received the Holy Communion together in Henry VII's Chapel. Mr Fedarb came to say farewell.

Angel Colenso & Norman Box also bade me very affectionate goodbye.

I met Geoffrey Robinson the new editor of the Times coming away from my door. He wanted me to write an historical article on the Ejection of the Nonconformists. I did so, & had just finished, when a messenger came with the news that my work wd not be wanted: as an article had already been provided!
