Transcription Notes
Had a baddish night with asthma & coughing. Hope I’m not going to knock up, but I feel very seedy. Go with Maud to Austin Ritchie about 2_ miles off. He sings a little and then escorts us 3 or more miles through a wood and over a mountain to Mr Warton’s. There we dine (alas!) and Warton sings quite a lot of songs, some quite good ones. On the way home we get caught in heavy thunder rain but fortunately have umbrellas and keep fairly dry. Get back just in time for supper after which some of the girls sing to me again and then we have a social at which I try to speak and sing but am prevented from doing myself justice by much coughing. Maud teaches them "A Hunting", "Roman Soldiers" & dances Jockey [to the Fair] & Princess Royal — a very successful evening which the children enjoyed mightily.Location
