Two-step while Mr. Mason taught me to dance
them, and Maude &
Nell made sandwiches and Hilda & Hal, or
Mary &
Hal did a little dancing too. Then they got us a
"cab" - (a "four-wheeler") and Mary & I, with Hilda &
Jacky Mason opposite, started for "Mohawk"
an the first Protestant church in
Canada
(1787 or 97 or there abouts) one of the "sights" of
Brantford,
Maude says. It was a pretty drive in
spite of moisture, and we stopped at the
Indian School and President's house - where the
Ashtons, dear friend of the Weirs,
live. The grounds were beautiful (the same narrow gravelled walks
and proper little fir-trees) and the house was very English. Two or three ladies rose, putting aside bits of
needle-work, as we entered the drawing room. There was
Mrs. Ashton, a married daughter - recently a widow -
after a year of married life - and another most charming daughter -
Mrs. Cockshutt - with her small son
"Ashton" (two more sons were about the ground
with their nurse & their grandfather) Soon
"Flossy" - the youngest blonde daughter came in -
and "Ernest" a fine blue-eyed fairhaired
sweet-mannered young man - to whom Mary lost her heart completely -
there and later. They treated us as honored guests- showed us silver plate
given to the Mohawks in 1712 or about then by Queen
Anne
