7/21/03 "Prince of Liars".
July 18-19 Sat. Sun. Showery. Was going down to Mae Stull's with Edith Sat. p.m., but it rained, so staid with Mother - who was quilting, and Papa read aloud from "Pendennis". Sunday Edith phoned me, but I was too tired toward night - when it had cleared off. July 20. Mon. Tonight Lura and I went up to see Matie Hawley, who arrived with Hobart
last Friday. She was the same as usual - Gay and talky. Stopped at July 21 Tues. Lura's coming back. Tuesday evening we went to the Lyceum, Lura & Mrs. B. Mabel, Flor
, Matie & her mother, Nellie & I, to see "The Prince of Liars" (mostly Blakemore.) Jolly time. July 22 Wed. Last day at the office. Had a very black and a very hard thunderstorm this noon - about the worst looking one I ever saw - and it showered off and on all day. Edith stopped for me at five, and walked down while I got my ticket &c. It had dried off. Con came over in the evening and he and Mother went to Charlotte with me. It had evidently been pouring again there - but had cleared off and was beautiful. The "Kingston" was in (we didn't go down till 10:20) and I got a very nice outside stateroom on the starboard side, No.104. Really luxurious for the lakes. I slept quite July 23 Thurs. a good deal after we started (1 a.m.) but it was almost too smooth - only the jar of machinery (gentle enough) and no lovely sea-motion - which I like when I'm in bed. The night was bright and beautiful and I was my comfy, but got up by 6:30
