He is supposed to be Loo-Loo's son, but she feels sure that Loo-Loo could 'never have engendered such a common dog as he is'. Had sixteen Christmas presents which is not so bad considering everyone is broke. Is in Chapel street with her maids. Describes an encounter with Sir Hugh Seely. S not very well and is going away on Monday for some air.
