257SEPTEMBER 5 Mon 1910 Just the worst day ever. Bess had a little breakfast in bed and Mary & I sat on the piazza a good deal of the day and watched it rain - pour. Lots of other people did the same. The "[illegible] Griffith &c) came back for Niagara on the lake & tried to leave for Rochester but it was too rough. A big wind came up. The girls left in a streak of sunshine - at 3:30. After supper I walked to the end of the pier. It was wierd - fog - lightning - thunder & just as I got in a down pour of rain. Slept in a better room. No. 14 - and read "Wild Olive" till 8:30. Then to bed! Tues 1911 Nice morning.
