Addie Ballantine asked him to ride this afternoon, and I went along too, to visit an old second hand store in Hyde Park.  She enjoyed poking about in it and got an old picture frame that he has been cleaning up, preparing to put a picture in it to sell.

Hugo is giving her a lesson in linoleum block printing to pay for it too. I wish you would bring up the 3 gauges for block printing that are in my top middle desk drawer
