Evidence:
'Perfectly fine and calm again. Father read us the finished article [on Trade Unions] to our great admiration. Then we did Italian and I read Sicilian history and a little Arabic. We saw a little land in the morning — it was the Portuguese coast just south of Finisterre. Mr Waugh brought me a note for 100 piastres issued by Gordon in Khartoum in April 1884 which I interpreted. I caught a stuffy cold in the morning sitting out in the wind.'
