Thursday                                                                             Jan 3
                Were down to Wm Carlyle’s to-night and had a fine time. Annie and I were left but we got a chance. We had lots of fun after the rest went away. Just six of us, Edith, Annie, Bob, Big George Little George and myself. Maggie Skuce went back to Ottawa to-day and Martha wen to Uncle Billies.

                I came to K.V. with Lin Allen. Geo H Carlyle came and took Lizzie and I out to Sandie’s for tea. Bob came up there and stopped all night. We had a fine time. Bob brought Lizzie and I home about 11 o’clock and we bid him good-bye.

  1. Love that you're sharing this diary with us!

    The entry from Jan 5 struck me as unusual - "Had a pleasant time eating candy and cough drops." I wonder about that entry. Why would it be pleasant to eat cough drops?
