Spent morning in packing up Xmas presents for the MacDonnells and Fräulein Engelmann. Got a fine torch for Arthur. Could do only part of programme, which consists of 3 hours Latin, French, German, English and History. Then Harmony and 1 ½ piano. After went to Cathedral for rehearsal of Mass. It went splendidly except for the Canons who were not so good and perhaps they were a bit jolly. After in Fr. O’Brien’s room there was a discussion about whether I was to play at midnight mass at Farranferris or turn over etc for Mám. I would offend Dr. Scannell terribly if I did not come.
