Excerpt from A Nile Journal
Went up for a little after dinner, then came down (having written six cards and posted them) and played patience in dining-room. The four green tables in the corners of the saloon all occupied, people writing, no signs of bridge. Went up last thing and saw a light in flashes on French coast, no one to ask what it was. Beautiful stars. Orion.
