Found a letter waiting for me this morning from Mrs. MacDonnell, inviting me out. It is really very generous and kind of her I think I spent some of the happiest days of my life in Castlelack.37 Pappie said if my cold is better I can go on Easter Monday. It will be glorious. Worked at the stairs-carpet all the morning. Had French lesson, and after dinner went to School of Music to show Mammie my letter of thanks to Mrs. MacDonnell before posting it. While there, Mammie brought in Miss Burrowes to hear my little prelude and Chopin’s Mazurka I am playing at present. She was evidently delighted and said she expected me to give a recital in the Imperial Hotel next year. I wonder whether that time will ever come. Sorted old programmes, and went to Tenebrae. The ‘Jerusalem’, ‘Miserere’, and the ‘Te adoremus’ were glorious. Any sinner ought to be converted by that saintly atmosphere. The Farran Ferris boys chanted splendidly.
