On Sunday, the countesses, as a great
mark of honor and respect such as should become those
dignitaries, were invited to the Tavern for dinner.
It was a cold, cold day! Great was the
discussion as to where clothes enough could be found
to keep them warm for the journey, and. I heard Bunny
vainly endeavoring to borrow somebody's fur coat.
Any way, because we were packed in rather snugly,
we managed to arrive without any frozen ears.
It was a grand feed!! From the "Mud
Turtle Soup," through the "Green Cherries,"
"Fish in Dutch," the "African Explorers
Beef" to the Peach Shortcake and "Acadia
Special," it was a huge success. Somehow, Edwina
must have known we were there, for several contributions
appeared with her compliments, Good news travels fast,
is a sure saying, you see!!
Well, after we had eaten till everyone
else in the dining room had departed and the doors
were closed, we decided there was nothing more coming,
so would go somewhere else.
We started to get into the machine,
when lo! it was discovered, that Miss Kerry no longer
fitted into any seat in the machine, so we had to
get another car. In order that she wouldn't be lonesome
Mr. Sanger insisted on coming with her. Mrs. Gathemann
rode in the same car and succeeded in getting them
back without any scandal.
As to the other machine load, chaperoned
by Miss Moore, & well-behaved and well regulated
party came quietly home with "eyes front."
The party getting slow, it was enlivened a little
by & few Sunday-School songs and hymns hummed
under their breath, but always led by Lieut. Gathemann.
We arrived home in time for swimming,
voting the initiation of the new members to the Wampi
Club a huge success.
