so I did too - & she & I had such a nice
visit going down & on the "Esplanade" which was very cool &
pleasant. We went on the Summerville side & saw most of the sights and sat
there in front of the cottage a long long time - talking &
getting cool. Then we went over & saw the cinematograph
& Mr. Schmidt (Rudolph) explained it to me &
showed me the films &c. Miss Perry is quite nice
& I sat next to her coming home & got acquainted - Mary was very gracious.
July 10. Sun.
A nice (comparatively) cool morning. Very busy with things to do to
finish up to go away. Claude &
Con both worked on the
competition - yesterday afternoon, too. They both came up to dinner &
Claude went back to work. Con was going riding but it began to storm
& continued all the afternoon. The most terrific & continous
thunder & lightning I ever saw. It struck our chimney, knocked some
bricks off & filled the kitchen with smoke - Con & I stood in the back door watching it for a long
time. I was invited to Behn's to
supper, but didn't go. Took a short walk - in the rain - & read
& got lunch for Papa & Mama.
July-11-14 Mon. Tues. Wed.
Uneventful - Fine cool weather again - Busy getting ready to go away
(at office & at home) and the boys working nights at the office
