1. I did not feel much desire to taste any food next morning. The long swim on the day before had taken away my wish for eating and drinking.  
2. I nearly flew down to the flower which Rose had put in water, but I changed[Pg 94] my mind. On the whole I prefer the smell of jam to that of roses.
 
3. I felt that a little walk would do me good, so I went round the tray² once or twice, and then I tried to do the same thing on the tea-urn, but it was too hot for my feet.
 
4. I left that quickly enough, and after running across the toast on Mr. Sutton's plate, and crawling³ up his paper, only to be driven away, I went to the window.
 
5. Here I was so lucky as to meet a few of my friends, and we had a little dance in the sunshine, which quite brought back my health and spirits.
 
6. The day thus passed by, and it was very warm indeed later on. After tea Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were seated in the drawing-room, one on each side of a little table, with a candle between them.
 
7. The old lady was knitting⁴, and her husband was reading aloud the paper to her. I think he was reading to amuse⁵ himself more than his wife.
 
8. I could feel, as I sat on her cap, that her head was nodding now and then, as if[Pg 95] she were dozing⁶. Mr. Sutton at last saw this. And laying down the paper he said, two or three times, "You are sleepy, my dear."............
