Dec. 26-31
Sunday, church in the morning. Have a sermon from Mr. Boyden. Sue Stanford has a bad headache so we have a select tea party in Miss Vallant's room. Mr. Bacon is a model husband. He adds to my curiosity shop a label from Sevastopol. We have some very pretty tableaux. The company all leave on Tuesday except the Pantopians. Tuesday night John Macmurdo and Jim get down. Suppose Johnny found it dull with only the old folks at home and I knew Jim was glad of an excuse to get with our Xmas party again. On Wednesday Sue Stanford and Miss Emily return. I enjoy her company so much. She is perfectly charming although she is from the north. We attend a party at Mr. Keating Nelsons. I enjoy it very much as I have my new found treasure by my side. We have such pleasant talks together. On our return have quite a scare in the waggon which prevents our returning so spend the night with Mrs. Nelson and don't we have a merry time, 9 in one room and 17 in the next. New Year Eve Miss Emily leaves us for The Creek. She wanted to watch out the old year all by herself. How sorry I am to see her depart. Hope; however, we may spend tomorrow night together. After she leaves I commence a letter to my friend Sally Williamson which kept me up until after 12 o'clock and I hear the old year go walking out.
