After 9 Mass, Mám and I had to go clearing up the place, for we are leaving to-morrow and cleared up yard, and put our plants out in the yard. Very often people come in over the wall, and steal everything they can lay hands on, including apples, if there are any there. So I thought of putting up a notice ‘Beware of man-traps’ on the wall. I don’t know whether it would be wise or not. A German lady from Berlin called yesterday to see Mám. She brought some things of Dr. Marcus, who was here during Easter, from Germany with her, but Mám was out. She called again to-day while I was cleaning my clothes in Fr. Pat’s study, but though it was very painful, and very unkind of us, we could not open as the house is all upset, and we are too busy packing. After a lovely dinner, went to Mr. Fielding who showed all his lovely garden. His car went on fire a few days ago and he succeeded in quenching it only when engine was destroyed! He is managing splendidly about the choir. Fr. Frank MacCarthy was for tea. He is a really charming, simple, priest, but stayed till 8, and we were dead tired packing till 11.
