I was
again in my chair, and he did not percieve that my hands were
now untied.
I must stop here, as my hands tremble to much to hold my
trusty pen.
APRIL 28TH. Leila has just been in. She kissed me in a
fraternal manner, and I then saw that she wore an engagement
ring. Well, such is Life. We only get realy acquainted with our
Families when they die, or get married.
Doctor Connor came in a moment later and kissed me to,
calling me his brave little Sister.
How pleasant it is to lie thus, having wine jelatine and
squab and so on, and wearing a wrist watch with twenty-seven
diamonds, and mother using the vibrator on my back to make me
sleepy, etcetera. Also, to know that when one's father returns
he will say:
"Well, how is the Patriot today?" and not smile while
saying it.
I have recorded in this journal up to where I had got my
hands loose, and Henry was going to shoot me in fifteen minutes.
We have thus come to Mr. Schmidt.
Suddenly Henry swore in an angry manner. This was because
my father had brought the machine home and was but then coming
along the drive.
