brought me letters from Papa, Mama
&
Fredericka. We ate supper by lamplight. Then
I promenaded the piazza (carrying Irene
part of the time. I made her a "picture" before supper, which she
liked very much.) Hilda &
Ned went for a walk. When I came in I
sat by the store "mooning" in a rocking chair & listened to the
Lindsay children telling stories & singing
little songs with Mr. Dymond. Then
I finished "The Island Voyage" and then played
whist with Mary,
against Maude and Edith
(& beat them badly) Mr. D.
. They were very good indeed.
Ned & Hilda, meanwhile, came back scared by a man, this time,
and finally everyone went to bed but Mr. & Miss
D. & we six and we played
Crambo & telegrams, till
midnight! It still rains the same.
July 28. Wed.
Another long rainy day - and still our tempers stand it! We were all
late to breakfast and Mr. Lindsay didn't come at all
but staid in bed most of the day - except when he &
"Bella" were on the piazza holding each others
hands! - They are a nice couple.
Mr. Dymond read aloud to us this a.m.
& we whittled & read & played cards & promenaded the
piazza & took a walk to the dock and this afternoon all wrote poetry!
Ned
& Mr. D.
went for the mail and
we had a nice visit this evening till after ten. Start early tomorrow.
The 3 boys called late this p.m. More confessions from Maude.
