reading and talking - Alice, Wiltsie & I. Then we walked down to the P.O. and while waiting for the mail went up to Mr. Cousin's high new house, overlooking sea and land. We went all thro' it - and its 12 bedrooms. &c. Then came down & waited for the mail - chatting with the Day's, Mr. Lowell &c. &c. regular country fashion - Miss Day knows the Henry Moores. After dinner we did go fishing. Gurdon & Wiltsie went 'round by the bluff and Alice & I went up & stopped for Mr. Lowell & the widow. We went down on Lobster Point. The two ladies staid behind, watching us, most of the time. I occupied the Point with the 3 gentlemen, and M Prof. Lord came out there a little while. It was ebb tide and the fishing not first class. I only caught a flounder - a little sea perch and a horrid sculpin. Two flounders got away at the water's edge and another took hook and all. Finally Alice came down to fish and the widow to use her wiles, but Wiltsie was certainly a brick "a diplomat" he called it coming home. We worked hard and I got tired this p.m. A couple of breakers dashed upon me, too. We found it was hot when we got on dry land again - only just in time to dress for supper. In fact, Alice, Wiltsie & I were the last ones, as usual - Alice skipped
