Queen in and then walked back to Art's after them. Bobbie didn't get out. I shouldn't have left them out this morning. It made us late with tea and to add to the lateness Gay upset the coal oil can and spilled a gallon or so all over the kitchen floor and it took Marj. some quite awhile to sop it up. Marj. saved a lot of it by squeezing it into the wash basin. I was late getting through with the chores. It is not quite so cold to-night.

Friday November 27th

I spent most of the fore noon trying to persuade Marj. it was time to get up. I didn't get out very early myself and called her first when I left to go over to the schoolhouse. She was still in bed when I came back so I called her again and then went out and milked. When I came in after that she and the rest of the family were all having such an enjoyable snooze that I thought it was a shame to wake them so I had breakfast by myself. I came in about 11 o'clock and Marj. was up but hadn't had breakfast yet so I had an early dinner and she a late breakfast all in one meal. She had given the children their breakfast. I put in quite a lot of time puttering

around doing chores and sorted some more apples for Dorrie but haven't them all gone over yet. Marj. was going to have an early tea, but when the timemcame came didn't lnow what to haveas we thought us of our chase which Stanton Munroe told us yesterday morning wa sat their place,a nd I walked over to get it.
