Transcription Notes
Decided it was useless to stay any longer so we persuaded the elder Miss Falls — a very nice woman about 30 or so — to motor us over to Montvale, about 15 miles, where we arrived at 12 o’clock and secured fairly good rooms at the Montrose[?] hotel. After lunch, a rest and some tea we walked out to Dewey, about 2 miles to Mrs Donald’s, only to find that she was in Montvale, nursing a maternity case. Called on her on our return and she was delighted to see us & promised to look round this or tomorrow evening and sing to us. But we are pretty sure that she won’t come to night and as a matter of fact she doesn’t. Weather terribly close & hot and we sit on the verandah after dinner trying in vain to get some cool air to breathe. There are about a dozen fat be-powdered dames here as at Mores, only a cut lower, who all talk at the tops of their voices. America would be so much more pleasant a place to live in if people talked less loud!Location
