passage but I liked it and was not a bit afraid - even when
Mr. R.
was urging we to save my strength and we were making no
progress at all. He said when we got in, I was "a maid of iron". The
soaking rain came down upon us again before we reached home. I was
all unstrung (the last straw was a remark of Mary's) & had a good cry before I got dressed. We had
a late supper (I felt much better then) & presented the things
to Maude. Then I sat on the piazza
& had a long talk with Dr. Lindsay whom I like
very much, till
Maude & Hilda returned from an expedition to the wash woman's
& reported being chased by a bull! I sat up & talked to the
girls & the wind whistled & the waves came in & just after I
came up stairs
Mr. & Miss.
Dymond returned thro' the pithy darkness from
Burleigh - after a long & tedious row
against the wind.
Hilda told me Mr. D.
thought me very unselfish! In
fact, he told her to be more like me in that respect! I asked her what she
said & she replied "I hate her!" - with a twinkle in her eyes
She's awfully nice - with her twinkle - & sings "Elsie from
Chelsea" and "I'll have my man or I'll have no man at
all", &c. &c. We get on well.
