Kew royalty, a beautiful dining room in white, gorgeous servants and most excellent cuisine. Afterwards we went to His Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket, across the street. An amusing play of "frenchy" origin was on; fashion, wealth and fine-looking men were there. The women did not impress me altho the toilets were gorgeous enough and diamonds flashed all over the place. Next week we go to Scott's, a famous old restaurant at the top of the Haymarket for dinner and then to the Garrick Theatre for the Merchant of Venice.

January 2, 1906 "Maw's callin' fromm the milk house, Callin stern: "Jim, yer lazy good fer nuthin', Come and churn." Paw's callin' from the corn patch Callin' loud: James, yer hulkin', stupid loafer, Time yer plowed." Nature's callin' from the trout-brook Callin' whish: "Son, yer poor tired lazy feller, Come and fish". Stranger if we just swapped places Put it clear Which of all the three a-callin Would you hear?
