Summary
Published pp. 121-122, with three omissions: (1) [beginning] among notes forwarded by Mr. Ruskin, there were none from her family [into p. 121: their weekday program; a Sunday, services at St. Wulfran (on p. 121 spelt Wogram; on p. 122, Wilfran--Effie's spellings)]; (2) [p. 122, line 21, after style] Details about the morning service [which express both her anti-Catholic feeling and her appreciation of music]. The sermon she "enjoyed very much it was a very elegant one on Christ weeping and Jerusalem in the evening we went again to the Benediction when there was a sermon and some chants in honor of the Virgin it being her Assomption [sic] and John said he never heard a more Roman Catholic sermon it was all about the Virgin and after it was over the nuns in black sang their hymns to her [into p. 122: few men attended; her astonishment at a French Sunday]; (3) tomorrow they post to Eu; then to Rouen, to remain a few days. She hopes her father's "prospects for the future are a little brighter."
