Joy
Friday November 6 - 1914
clear and calm air beautiful with full moon
and stars out throughout the day x It was a great
pleasure to see the smoke rise straight up from the chim-
ney. The usual sight is a train of sparks dashed
from the thin whirled chimney gas as the wind were
afraid some time would be lost in getting by x
Jerome went to Fish immediately after breakfast in
order to get some films. Our moon is just north of the
house and should make a very pretty picture x The calm
weather allowed a snap shot to be taken x I went out at
moon and met Jerome coming back with Almywack and
Mac. I walked quite a long ways up the Firsd. On my
return Mac had gone but Almywack had her fat limbs now
punched me on the dental chair. She was as fascinating
as ever - which isn't very fascinating.
Jerome told me that Mac had found some discrepancy
in the spring sights x I went in at once to find out if I
had given him anything wrong. I had picked out a distance
too small for the observed position of our last camp.
Almywack walked in with me. She had a very hard time
with her short legs and round body, and could keep up
with me only by clinging to my arm x The moon was
very bright and she looked quite attractive with a fresh finger
above her black hair x I pretended it was a winter night
at home and found the three miles almost too short.
These nights are exquisite!
