I spent the greatest part of yesterday as happily as possible under
my present situation. I had not been very well for some time
past; the weather cold enough to admit require walking fast
to keep oneself warm without a great coat, and I went on
foot from town to Princess Dashkoff's country house which is

pleasure each of our society received to take in the other's company
