(cont.)
A typical day.
Rise abt 8 am. breakfast 8.30 a. (porridge &, perhaps, bacon.)
(By the way, James & I have been allotted two seats on the dias overlooking the whole room. Poor James, the old dear, bore the blaze of publicity with a shrinking spirit for a day or so but he may now be heard laying down the law in his ripe "Geordie" accent. Further along at our table are Captns Moodie, Roberts, C.E. Byrne, vis-à-vis is Lieut Hall, & on my left, his back to The Assemblage, is Horne.)
Appel on the terrace 9 am.
9.30 to 11.30 walking.
Noon till 1 p. lessons.
1 pm. Lunch. (Chefs Morton & the Queensland Meat Co., but Moodie occasionally casts us scraps of his rabbit pies.)
2 pm. till 3.45 p. One takes one's choice of another quick walk or of the "yachting party".
