Sunday, March 19:
R. had a restless night and is very tired. For me a day of packing and shopping, also a conversation with Count Gravina, about whom R. says he should come to Acireale, so that we can get to know him better. The reports of him are good, and his behavior was excellent.
Around 7 in the evening we go to bed, at 1 o’clock we are up again, and toward 3 o’clock, amid much turmoil, we leave Porrazzi, which R. could no longer stand. At the station the prefect, Count Tasca, Gravina, Guccia, Rubinstein. Friendly farewells and then sleep till sunrise.
