Nov.4. We had a very nice drive around the Park
where the Mikado lives. I let Miss Holmes
go home, to join us tomorrow for the trip
to Miyanoshita as she said she was not
provided with suitable clothing. I let her
come home to the hotel and told her to get
a cup of tea before she started on her journey.
To my astonishment I found her
sitting in my bedroom drinking
her tea. She never offered any excuse or did
she realize she had taken a liberty. Her
own room was one flight upstairs
and it certainly was a surprise to me to find
her sitting in my room with her tea tray.
We will leave tomorrow. Spent all
evening looking for the passport
as George had taken it out of his pocket
and we had to unpack everything and
found it with some papers in the bottom
of his trunk packed for Canada.
Dear me, how much bother one can have
that does no good to anyone.
Today altogether has been our first bad
day in Japan. I shall be glad to get off tomorrow
morning from Tokio. The place is so depressing
to my mind.
