We all got off for a stroll up to the village - went into the stores
& bought mottoes &c. and then up to a little Roman Catholic Church
on the hill, & there we went in and saw the poor little painted altar
& the wooden images. Coming down I tried to take a quaint little
cottage by the roadside. Dr. Lindsay held my parasol
for me - up the board walk. Coming down the
KatchewanookaMr. D.
"Hilda", Mary & I sat
& talked while the rest got supper. Mr.
D.
said nice thing about "American" girls and said a
compliment or two for me. We also told how our opinion of Canadians had
changed - Mr. D.
is English. He
has promised me a picture of himself & Mrs.
Dymond
. Our supper on board was a great lark - hot
tea, & boiled eggs & cold other things - but good - on a dining
table, but still very picnic-y. We who didn't help cook it washed the
dishes and it was quite a lark. Reached Lakefield
just before seven and Dr. L. took us up town
"shopping", we bought postage stamps & "such" - pins & gum &c.
&c. The boat didn't start till towards 8 - with us all in the
bow, & some Rochester men up above us. The
clouds were glorious - as they were coming down - when the showers swept
across with blue sky between. Mr.
Dymond
brought a Mr. (J. Longley)
Taylor - a very English Englishman & he sang with us
and for us - the best "Mrs 'Enry 'Awkins" I ever heard, but
Chevalier. He & I got quite chummy going up, tho' he
only went to
