8, Grosvenor Crescent, S.W. - Heard the news of the sale of the picture [see 12/26] with mixed feelings: it 'confirmed one's opinions of Mr Berenson's judgement' and revived feelings of regret', but on the other hand they feared the actual picture was too small for their purpose. Much obliged to Berenson and Robert for the trouble taken. Charles has made his maiden speech [in the House of Commons] which was well-received; even the "Times" was 'mollified and interested'. Charles 'has the instinct of the place', as could be noticed in 'Edward Grey's early performances'.
