At work as usual1. Finished shortly before 2 o’clock. Went round with Charlie and called at Whittakers in the afternoon and arranged to go to the King’s Theatre directly†. Went to the King’s Theatre and heard “Il Trovatore”. It was very good though I didn’t like it so well as Wednesday night’s piece2.
Saturday morning working was of course normal – as it remained until the 1960s. ↩
Wednesday night’s piece: See 27 January. ↩
