Tuesday May 3rd

I havent done a great deal of any thing to-day except chores and odd jobs. Dad. has felt pretty tough all day and had to rest up for "Pinafore" to-night. Marj. has felt miserable all day. Frank went down town and got our tickets to "Pinafore" changed from to-night till to-morrow as we figured Marj. wouldn't feel like going to-night. Dad finished cleaning the brush out of the orchard this after noon and I helped him a little. To-night all but Marj. & me went to the concert and we went for a walk down to the pond and saw Jack's deer, the buck came up and licked Marj's hand. Frank took Irene Pickford down. Tid. went down to Aunty's from school and was to have gone to the show from there but he was sick all the afternoon in school and was too sick to go to-night. They brought him home with them and he has quite a fever. Pinafore went off fine. Ralph was in good shape and Dick Dead Eye's horrible looks were very impressive. He won his bet with the Captain which was that he could make him laugh He accomplised the feat by hesitating in his dialogue with Capt. Corcoran to take an imaginary cud out of his mouth walk to the gunwhale and toss it over board.
