My kind cousin, L. W., got tickets for a course of lectures on "Italian
Literature," and seeing my old cloak sent me a new one, with other
needful and pretty things such as girls love to have. I shall never
forget how kind she has always been to me.
_November 5th_.--Went with H. W. to see Manager Barry about the
everlasting play which is always coming out but never comes. We went
all over the great new theatre, and I danced a jig on the immense
stage. Mr. B. was very kind, and gave me a pass to come whenever I
liked. This was such richness I didn't care if the play was burnt on
the spot, and went home full of joy. In the eve I saw La Grange as
Norma, and felt as if I knew all about that place. Quite stage-struck,
and imagined myself in her place, with white robes and oak-leaf crown.
_November 6th_.--Sewed happily on my job of twelve sheets for H. W.,
and put lots of good will into the work after his kindness to me.
Walked to Roxbury to see cousin Dr. W. about the play and tell the fine
news. Rode home in the new cars, and found them very nice.
In the eve went to teach at Warren Street Chapel Charity School. I'll
help as I am helped if I can.
