the buildings standing on a high hill & looking across a river & valley which reminded me of Geneseo. Mr. Dymond, Mr. Allan Dymond, Mrs Albert Dymond (the wife of the favorite brother who died a year or so ago) and "Winnie" ( Hilda's niece) had gone to church - but would "soon be back". Miss Nellie Dymond received us in a prim parlor - and looking just as she did (in "dry" moments) last summer. "Emmie" also came down - & proved to be a maiden sister - smaller, and primmer & stiffer and in fact a much intensified Nellie
. She wore a very up-&-down black dress and a pair of sickly brown bed slippers. We decided to go over to the "Institution" while we waited. Hilda managed the excoursion and it was so pathetic to see the poor blind children trying to do things - they explained moveable maps to us - they knitted & made bead things & sewed and played and sang and did gymnastics - for we ended in the Gymnasium, where Hilda informed the young instructor she was Mr. Dymond's "nephew" - & we got really quite chummy later. Then we went back to the house & all but Mr. Allan
came from Church & Mr. D. made himself very agreeable or gave us pictures of the place &c.&c. We went down to take the car, when Allan Dymond got off - and how his face fell! Why didn't we telephone we were coming? &c.&c. He got on the car with us, & got off when it started
