Because I have known him for years, and he is nothing to me but
a good friend and not sentamental in any way.
I feel this way. Suppose he enlists and goes away to die
for his Country, as a result of my Speach. Can I endure to think
of it? No. I did not feel this way about Tom Gray, who has gone
to Florida to learn to fly, although at one time thinking the
Sun rose and set on him. It is very queer.
The Sentry reports Mr. Schmidt and the dogs coming over the
fense.
EVENING. Doctor Connor is here again. He is taking Sis to
a meeting where he is to make a Speach. I ofered to go along,
but they did not apear to hear me, and perhaps it is as well,
for I must watch William, as Henry is taking them in the car. I
am therfore writing on the stairs, as I can then hear him
washing Silver in the pantrey.
Mother has been very sweet to me this evening. I cannot
record how I feel about the change. I used to feel that she
loved me when she had time to do so, but that she had not much
time, being busy with Bridge, Dinners, taking Leila out and
Housekeeping, and so on. But now she has more time.
