May 31st
May 31st The bad weather this morning & which has continued throughout the day prevented my taking a ride before breakfast as well as any other exercise since. I attended to my French after breakfast & read 18 pages. I finished the reign of Henry the fifth. His glory when it had nearly reached the summit was cut short by the hand of death in the year 1422 in the 34 year of his age & the 10 of his reign leaving a character eminent for many virtues and unstained by any considerable blemish his abilities appeared equally in the cabinet and in the field.
Said french, & worked until dinner. Nanny refused to say her lesson. After dinner heard Charles a lesson & got geography.
