Found all the priests in bad form after their three days holidays during the exam. Not one of them had our papers corrected, and we were disgusted. Saw the matriculation English paper set by Professor Stockley. He gives very difficult and tricky questions. I hope I will get through all right when the time comes. Fräulein Engelmann was in ecstasies, she told us yesterday, with Dublin. She and Irmah were on top of Nelson’s Pillar, in Howth, Bray , Phoenix Park, the Zoo, Trinity College, and goodness knows where else. Dublin certainly makes a fine impression on everybody. – Am reading about Napoleon’s Moscow campaign at present. It is very interesting.
