THE CARRINGTON EXTRACTS

Transcription

1 THE CARRINGTON EXTRACTS CUMULATIVE INDEX PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS TO 1934 (INCLUSIVE) This index has been compiled straight from the text of the Extracts (from January 1914 onwards, these include the Rees Extracts. in the Index we have differentiated between them by using the same date conventions as in the text black date for Carrington, Red date for Rees). In listing the movements, particularly of Kipling and his family, it is not always clear when who went where and when. Thus, R. to Academy dinner clearly refers to Kipling himself going alone to the dinner (as, indeed would have been the case it was, in the 1890s, a men-only affair). But Amusing dinner, Mr. Rhodes s probably refers to both of them going, and has been included as an entry under both Kipling, Caroline, and Kipling, Rudyard. There are many other similar events. And there are entries recording that, e.g., Mrs. Kipling leaves, without any indication of when she had come but if it s not in the Extracts (though it may well have been in the original diaries) then, of course, it has not been possible to index it. The date given is the date of the diary entry which is not always the date of the event. We would also emphasise that the index does not necessarily give a complete record of who the Kiplings met, where they met them and what they did. It s only an index of what remains of Carrie s diaries, as recorded by Carrington and Rees. (We know a lot more about those people, places and things from, for example, Kipling s published correspondence but if they re not in the diary extracts, then they won t be found in this index.) Another factor is that both Carrington and Rees quite often mentions a name without further explanation or identification. We assume that they were recorded, with a view to mentioning the subject in the text of the biography, but that the author changed his mind or edited it out for some reason. In some cases, later biographers have picked up the reference, and explained it. In those cases, we have gratefully recorded their identification. It will also be noted that there are discrepancies in dates between Carrington and Rees (i.e, the same event is given one date in Rees and another in Carrington usually no more than one day apart). We have not commented on such discrepancies, because we do not know the cause it s a case of you pays your penny and you takes your choice. A Abinger Visit to Sir Frederick and Lady Lugard.
