March 28 Thursday – Isabel Lyon’s journal:

Oh, the King is so great. C.C. has come back from her tour, it has cost at least $2,500.00—a financial loss, but when I talked with him this morning about the chances of proceeding for another 4 weeks, he said, “Pay the bills and tell Ben to go ahead.” He was shaving and with his face covered with lather he said in substance that she was still learning her trade and the only way she can learn it is to know how to sail her ship in adverse winds. He said that if she had come home with twenty thousand dollars in her purse it would not be of the value to her that this experience has been; smaller cold audiences that you win over are the ones that help you most. Seaumas MacManus lunched here today, and he is a sweet and genuine Irishman, full of the problems young Ireland is trying to solve. He is poetic and when he is interested he drones his speech and makes of the word “love” a word as long as a long, long sigh.

I had a beautiful and affectionate letter from Mrs. Warfield [MTP TS 45-46]. Seumas McManus.

Clemens A.D. for this day is listed by MTP.
