good after all. We brought the cows up with us and milked before tea. The flys were awful. Dick was here when we came up. We had a late tea and Daddy tended to the horses afterwards.

We have not seen a sign of Roy since church except we saw him with Livy going into the drugstore after films to take {illegible} kid on as it has been taken about a dozen times before by amateurs but none turned out. This was just after we came out of Cousin Clare's.

It has been awfully hot to-day but is cooler to-night.

Old Nigger dog has been over here all day, Quint went up to Normandale with Bill and Hugh McQueen in the latter's launch about two or three o'clock this a.m.

Monday August 7th

Daddy had to start off early after breakfast to thrash at Flemming's and was gone all day. I mended my saw horse, cut some wood and started to cut burdocks in the orchard. After dinner I finished cutting burdocks in the orchard and walked back to the gully with Roy. Roy went down town about three o'clock. I cleaned uo a little behind the wood shed. Then Enah and I drove Joe down to Huby's and we went on down to the station to see Roy off and to take his grip. This being Larolito's civic holiday he stayed all day here. We did not get home till six o'clock as Enah had to go a few places (about three) and only stayed a "minute" at each. She also saw Cousin Loll whicj took a little more time. They were just coming out of Flemming's with {Margin note} machine when we came past and Tige was just seeing Daddy safely over Bannister's fence when we got home. Dick was down town all the after noon . It has been hotter than ...... it was Saturday to-day.
