get up State St before the 6 o'clock crowd
commenced & dressed for Sara & called for Ned. We met
Charlotte at the Lyceum (Dake's) & found the seats not so awfully bad.
Bernhart & her company were good. It was all so
French The play is horrible - & the characters - I was glad to
see her, but must confess I was not particularly impressed.
Scarpia (the villain) was very good. The scenery was
mostly special but would stand considerable im- provement.
Sara is "wonderfully preserved," certainly. Has a pretty
profile, but rather an ugly mouth & horrid eyes - all painted
around. Her hair is "tawny" surely & looks just like a wig. After it
was out we saw
Charlotte on her car & I went home to
sleep with Ned. Of course we talked a
good while - Miss Hall ("Lena Belle")
has fallen a victim to Ned's charms
& I act as father confessor. (The adoration is not reciprocated.)
After midnight there was a heavy thunderstorm & then we went to sleep.
May 15th Friday
A gorgeous morning. Got up early, left Ned in bed & walked home to breakfast - Bought straw-
berries on the way & ate them later. Changed my dress & rode
to the office. Rode up with Geo.
Humphrey
at noon & tonight met Ned on
Fitzhugh St.
After supper went to Mary's to
return "La Tosca" & they wanted to go for a ride, so
Mary, Alice & I rode over to Davis' via
Court St. Bridge & East
Avenue. It was delightful
