Transcription Notes
Our last day here. We both feel pretty tired but make a great effort and, despite the heat, walk up the mountain to Mrs Grey the woman who put us on our way last Saturday & said she knew some songs. We at last found her and discovered she was a young unmarried girl only 13 years old! She knew nothing of value in the way of songs but she showed us a lot of rather nice crochet work and we promised to try & help her get a sale for it at one of the Mountain Industries Societies. After lunch we rested and then packed, a gruesome business as usual, rendered doubly difficult because of the stygian darkness of our rooms. We staid at home after supper, sitting on the verandah and viewing for the last time our two little wrens feeding their family and wondering how they will teach their young ones to fly from such a place.Location
