"26. Sunday. Detained from writing by the necessity of gathering particulars: 1. about Lorenzo de' Medici's death; 2. about the possible retardation of Easter; 3. about Corpus Christi day; 4. about Savonarola's preaching in the Quaresima of 1492. Walked with Mr. Spencer to the zoological gardens. Finished La Mandragola, second time reading for the sake of Florentine expressions, and began La Calandra. Yesterday we received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Trollope." Diary 1861-1877 108
