wet my handkerchief with water and get some
for her to drink &c.&c. & we soon had a crowd & a
camphor bottle from somewhere & so it went for sometime. Everyone
prescribing & fussing. After a while we got a country buggy & got
her in - & her wheel (which I discovered with a broken chain)
& Ned got in with her &
"Jake" drove them to
Scottsville while "Pete" rode
Ned's wheel & of course we girls wheeled
back up the long hill. By the time the buggy came along they were in
sufficient spirits to allow me to take a picture (!) and Mabel entreated me to take also the back
view - which I endeavored to do from my wheel (in very poor light) after
stopping at the
Cargill house for brandy & a rest!
We drove to the
R. & P. station, & there had to wait an hour for the
6:35 excoursion train. We saw a lovely sunset (but a cold one) - were glad to welcome the train as it came round the
curve at dusk. Got into the City about 7. (Willie Filmer was at the station - had been to
Silver Springs to see his girl) & we put
Matie on a car & wheeled home. I
stopped a minute to give
Mary a "Souvenir
spoon" from Ned, and of course had to
tell her & Nellie all about it. Got
home in time for a nice kitchen-supper - to which
Con came also and he staid till 10:30 or
so, I was tired.
Sept. 20. Monday.
Rain today - but I did manage to get "Diana" - back & forth. Found Mrs. Drury
sitting cozily by the fire, when I arrived tonight. She was here to
sell
1897.
