Friday 9th February 1883
Came back by the 9 train with Mr Farndale and Mr Colls. Had to go to Chester Rd. to see Frank Holliday who had ricked his back by lifting his bedstead with his wife in it! Too much conjugal affection! Spent evening at Branson's and played rubber with him, Balden and Haynes when I had bad luck and lost 27/6.
