{Toby's stepmother takes up the diary writing}
Thursday February. 8th
Tobe did not arise very early this morning as he was very tired. He did not do much but rest all until about four o'clock. He then drove down town. It snowed pretty much all day but was not cold. Harry and Frank drove down after tea and brought Aunts Ida, Nese, and Alice over also {Mard?} Sovereign. The Shand family with Miss Grey arrived later and we spent the evening in music. Mr. Shand brought his violin and Charlie his mouth organ and an "Octo-something" I forget what he called it but it made sweet music all the same. It was about 1.30 a.m. when they left.
Friday February 9th
It was late when we got up this morning as none of us got to bed until after three o clock, so we did not have breakfast until 10 oclock. The boys went up to Mr. Cantelon’s and got a load of gravel then we had lunch. They have both gone down town to a dance in the town hall. It has been very cold all day today. Marjorie Clarke has the measles.
