18 November 1907 - Paris
Monday. 18th [November 1907]. I took leave of Angela Reinelt whose guest I have been in Paris & left by 10 o'cl train for London where I arrived at 5 after a perfectly calm passage. Bessborough kindly sent his motor brougham to the station to fetch me & with it a note to say Connie wanted me to dine with her tonight as she was giving a party to celebrate her son Eddie's engagement to Clare Philips & he wd take me there in the motor if I wd go. I agree to this & he fetched me & took me to 8 Onslow Gardens. I met the bride elect & her father & mother Mr & Mrs Philips. Eddie was not there as he had retired into a nursing home to have a cyst cut out of his neck. The Philips invited me down to Montacute for the wedding on 3rd Decr & I accepted. I got home after 11 very tired. Clare Philips seems a nice bright girl & Eddie has been taken into partnership as a solicitor by her uncle, wh makes the marriage possible.

2 December 1907 - Montacute House, Montacute, Somerset
Monday. 2nd December [1907]. I left Inwood & went by train to Yeovil whence I drove in a fly to Montacute to stay with Mr & Mrs Philips on the occasion of the marriage of their girl Clare to my nephew Edward Eliot. Found Connie already there-she had got a violent cold in her head & I had to get her to keep most of the afternoon in her room by a warm fire & she got better. Montacute is a lovely old house in the style of Hatfield but not well kept up & it was very cold & draughty. There was a large party staying in the house relations of both families. The wedding gifts were all displayed on the billiard table & many neighbours came over to see them. Mr Philips' aged mother-of 91-lives in the house-a charming little rosy cheeked old lady who entered into all that was going on & is very courteous & kind to all. Miss Buller (daughter of Sir Redvers) was here-to act as one of the bridesmaids. Evely Eliot, the brothers of the bride & her married half sister &c. In the evening there was a dance in the hall & several neighbours came over amongst them my niece Mildred Mansel & her husband. It was a very cold night. Connie seemed to have recovered from her cold & danced energetically most of the evening-with men and women.

3 December 1907 - Montacute House, Montacute, Somerset
Tuesday. 3rd [December 1907]. The wedding day. Mr Philips took me in a motor over to Brimpton to see Sir Spencer Ponsonby Fane grandfather of the bride. Sir Spencer showed me some of his interesting collections such as buckles of wh he has a lot-pictures-fans-china &c. Amongst other things he showed me the hour glass wh had stood in the Ducal Palace in the room of the Council of Ten wh had been given to Lady Westmorland & identified by Mr E. Chaney- We had to hurry over the visit & get back to an early lunch before the marriage wh was at 2 o'cl. We drove to the church wh was very near the house. The Church was full & the bride & her father arrived soon after us. Evely Eliot played the organ & began with a hymn sung by the choir. All went well-the church was crowded & prettily decorated with flowers. After the service Mr Philips took me to see the remains of the Abbey convent close by wh had belonged to some French monks who were dispossessed by Henry VIII & their lands given to the Philips family. We returned to Montacute & tea &c was served in the hall many neighbours having come in to it. The happy pair started abt 5 for London & the next day left for Venice where they are to stay at Ca' Capello wh I have lent them. We had a quiet evening & went early to bed. Old Sir Spencer Ponsonby proposed the health of the Happy Pair before they departed. He is over 80 but yet hale & hearty.
