she did not think so & stood up for the darn whelp. I told her she had been a disgrace to the Talbot name living with him. for people talked as they always do on such occasions. & except for a certain few she was centured for it. not that I think there was anything criminal, but thats not it, he had no business to have got rid of the other boarder, but she was like putty in his hands. I could never like him. The lawn is covered with little blue violets. Hazel set the first ones out & these have all sprung from from them. she loved them. I carried down a little bunch of them & gone to Alice. she is going to have another boarder Mrs Frank Rumrey, she told me it will soon be an old womans retreat. Mrs Braman is fast losing her mind Alice sort of advises her & looks after her, she seems kind of jollie & I think Alice takes to her, more than she does to Mrs Packard who is rather particular & fussy. that place is the only house I go & it helps me to forget my troubles. I can throw off a lot & Alice always has something funny to tell me about. she misses Sue, so different from Myrtie who is always begging as Mrs Johnson says she has got the art down fine. & yet I sort of pity her. but dare not trust her, she is treacherous.

I expect the painting of the house will begin sometime during the week. he said he would take off the out side windows & anything I wanted done he would do, even offered to give me som hen manure for my garden. Louie is good to us sure. Ma Lena sent Dorisid the picture
