little girls.  Friends of Nicholsons living in Cariacou (Grenadines]] who had missed boat back from Grenada.  The little inter-island schooner had pulled out several hours ahead of previously announced departure.  Nich. asked me if I could take them.  But that I told him I could not do without Bredin's consent.  I thought there were 4 who wanted ride, on way out to Freelance to ask, Nicholson said little girls would stay here in school, which made it easier, but I still thought man & wife were going.  Bruce said O.K.  (Nicholson should have done asking were his said friends.)

So now we have in Carriacou, Dr. aboard taking him home.  I feel sorry for the little girls –– & ––  Each had her dolly with her.  This Dr. needed to get home otherwise would be stranded here till Sunday.

Lot of girl book keepers & cashiers in business offices here & in Trinidad who know business forwards & backwards.  What delayed me was watching little bright eyed, neatly dressed little coal black boys
