20 They [sic] sleighing has all departed but I thought I must show some of it so Lucy & [I] went up to see Almira. Had a pleasant visit. Went to Lyceum. Had a good debate. Frank called at the gates. 21st A beautiful sunny day. Mother and I called on Mrs. Stickney. Will came over to night & I have promised to go to the party with him. I would like to go and yet I would not. This evening I was intending to study. Albert came in and was helping me about some examples when in came Steve. So my studying had to be done after ten. It is now the wee hours. We treated Tim decidedly cool to night at Ez’s & he vows he never will speak to either of us.
