Went to 8 Mass again. Found a paper had come from poor Julia. She said it might be of use to Páp. It was ‘Le Matin’! She thought it was a German paper; it was very good of her. – A month ago I proposed having a feast or something on last day of term in Fr. Dinny’s Latin class, as it would be last day of us 7 being together. So to-day each of us gave 1/-, Fannie’s sister brought up 2 doz. cakes and four of us broke bounds at play-time to get 8 bottles of lemonade. As I was settling the bottles behind the blackboard before class, didn’t I find Scannie behind me. But he was very decent, entered in the sport, and gave us wine-glasses. About 20 mins. before end of the Latin then we suddenly produced the feast. Fr. Dinny was quite delighted, and we all drank lemonade, ate snowballs, and gave toasts. He actually said that he in return should give us a day in Crosshaven! But we wouldn’t have it. – We are having class till Thurs. – After school went for a new cap, and for Confession, which I couldn’t get. Wasn’t at Confession for 10 days. Worked well to-day, but I must finish ‘Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts’ when the school has closed. Fannie actually had an ancient Greek or Roman coin in school to-day! It must be very valuable.
