A Mr. Fisher (who reminded us of Dr. Walker of
the "Mobile") and Dr Crossen were very nice to
us, both there and at the hotel dock afterwards. (They tried to call on us
the next Sunday but got lost, so wrote a note instead!) We went over
to McIntosh's house and left the boat (theirs) getting
Helen's small one (the D.P.P. #2 -
to be called "Stephanie") and rowed back to a nice supper out
doors on Hamilton's rustic table on
the piazza. Had a touch of neuralgia
as I lay in the hammock afterwards - About the time we began
thinking of bed. Oldfield's tug "hove" in sight" with my
trunk and some lumber and a lot of strange people from the hotel
swarmed in and gushed over the cottage & finally, when the tug
insisted on their going away (by bonfire light) They gave three
hearty cheers for "The Maple leaf"(!) misunderstanding
Mary's "St. Helena"! Bed was welcome.
July 25 Saturday
We got up early this morning - 7:30 - and soon had breakfast.
Mr. Sing the surveyor came and invited us to sail
at 9:30. Mary and Chat
said "No thank you" and Helen,
Marjorie & I "Yes, thank you" immediately. I
got the posters and things out of my trunk and we put them up. The bathing
girl (my
Rogers booby prize) we called
"Vivian" and put in our bed room. Mr.
Sing and "Jim"
