October 28 Sunday – Clemens was still in Tuxedo Park, spending time with Harry and Mary Rogers.

Isabel Lyon’s journal:

The city—ever since I have been here I have been mourning for the bloom, the faint delicate bloom of the hills, a bloom that can be banished away for a whole winter, by one contact with —the city. It is as AB said, “In the mountains there was romance in the very air, but here we must make it.” Here there are no days that “seem to make clocks almanacks & histories of no account”. No, the days are only clocks & almanacs.

The King did not return today [MTP TS 141].

Elisabeth Marbury wrote to Sam.

Mr. Arnold Daly is going to do a very interesting programme beginning November 5th. He proposes to have an invitation matinee on November 7th especially for the prominent literary people in New York. Can you be present at 2.30 on Thursday, Nov. 7th? I know the plays which he proposes giving and I assure you that they are well worth your attention. Will you let me know whether I shall have Mr Daly reserve places for you for this occasion? [MTP]. Note: Lyon wrote on the letter: “I think I’ll say yes to that.”
