Measured myself in the study-hall in school, and found I was just below the line running along the wall. I wonder when I will be over it: I am still very small for my age, and by far the smallest in my class. Went over ‘Macbeth’ again to-day. It reminded me when we acted it for the Bishop and whole lot of visitors last Xmas, my rôle being Lady Macbeth. I think that day was one of the happiest of my life, because not only did I get a first prize book for senior hon[our]s and another for getting on well in last year’s intermediate [exams], and not only was Mammie really delighted with my acting, but the wonderful feeling of good-fellowship, and enthusiasm for the general good of the school made everyone feel so content as he could possibly be, and made the whole evening a great success. – Nannie sowed seeds in the garden this morning, I wonder if they’ll ever spring up
