p.

happy occasion of the day.

Then on Tuesdays, +
Fridays (at present) I take
my lessons from Madame
at half past ten, leaving
the house at ten. I walk
home except in very bad
weather, from my lessons;
It is a distance of about
2 1/2 miles, taking in dinner
at the boarding house on the
way, (as Uncle Nat says)
dinner "en passant"

Then in the afternoons
I practice + receive calls or
make them, until it is
time for tea, after which I
go into Uncle Nat's room
to the family gathering,
where we smoke and
tell stories and recount
the incidents of the day
