18 June 1888 – 24 June 1888

Waggonette to Hindhead — Helen and I with Mrs. Flight. I walk up steep wood — the Cross, schoolgirls running about. Distance misty. Drive to Mrs. Clifford's — friendly and pleasant. To Tyndall's — I introduce Mrs. Flight as widow of Dr. Flight ^ and cousin of Du Bois Reymond. ' Walter Flight r Oh, I knew him intimately.' Speaks with interest to Mrs. F. — ' dear Du Bois ' — takes her and Helen to top of house. Away, T. comes to gate with us ; ' Dr. Martineau — we have exchanged some shrewd blows, but I don't think he hates me ! ' I walk home from Hindhead by Witley Park copses, lovely — but oaks stript by caterpillars. Weather turns cold and rainy. Ill and rather miserable for about a week. Going on with proofs of Flower Pieces, etc.
