1896.
Feb. 9 Sun. Snowed all day - 12 inches in 24 hours. Was "sick a-bed" all day, but got up to breakfast. Then lay on the couch in front of the fire & read "Barry Lyndon" which I think is fine. Ned came up right after dinner and told her experience with the Dr. &c. (She moved into No. 87 yesterday.) After dark we four & Ned sat about in the firelight while the storm raged outside & Mama recited "Snowbound" & Papa Emerson's "Snow Storm" &c. & we talked & talked a long long time. Then we had lunch & snow cream & sat by the fire some more - till Ned sallied forth into the storm (Claude had gone earlier) & I read again. Feb. 10. Mon. Lovely white day - deep snow and good sleighing. Shopped this noon & went up to our building. & saw our rooms again. Made appointment with Dr. Scranton he "exhibited" my teeth to another Dr. Went shopping again with Ned at 5 o'clock. After supper I went down to her room & helped her hang a few pictures. Edith & Freddie came for a little while and F. told about her N.Y. trip. Bad dreams tonight. Feb. 11. Tuesday "We" cleared out JG's old desk today. Such a job! Saw Mary this noon - & Ned. They were up one by one. Mrs. Chapin & Mrs. Hitchock called tonight just before supper. I finished Barry Lyndon which I consider a very fine character study. Enjoyed it much.
