May 11 Wednesday – Sam’s notebook of May 12 relates a luncheon of this day:

Yesterday Mrs. C. & I lunched at the Villa Ross. I forgot to deliver the invitations to Susy & Clara, so they were not there & the table was not full. Had a fine time — Mr. & Mrs. Ross & their niece are lovely people. Fiske & the Arab were there. 

Mrs. Ross took us over to a villa in the neighborhood, & we shall try to rent it [NB 32 TS 10].
