Only did Arith. and Geom. this morning. I will ‘slum’ now till we get back to Cork. We went dutifully to see the rabbits at 11, meeting Miss Marcelle on the way. She is a very nice and affable poor thing. The Angora rabbits she has are very handsome, clothed with thick downy wool, and having red eyes in contrast to their whiteness. She has got other kinds as well. They make great profit from the rabbits, a pound of Angora wool being worth from 35/- to 40/-, and they yield 2-3 lbs yearly. Mrs. Charnley came out too and was very charming. It is extraordinary how these people have retained English manners and accent which cuts like a knife, thought seemingly cut off from any English influence since the Plantations. Came home and had a swim with Mr. Murray. Played a funny sort of tennis, came home, and found 6 fine stamps sent by Miss Charnley. Wrote back and sent her dubs. Was simply amazed and delighted when Fr. Pat suddenly came in! He is going to take us back to Cork to-morrow. Mám and he went for a walk after tea and I went to tennis. We had supper together, and I sorted out Miss Charnley’s stamps.
