Was thrown out of Dickie’s class to-day because a fellow put stones into my sack, I tried to throw them inside his coat, and they fell on the ground. I know I was in the wrong to-day and must try and keep quiet in future but Dickie always pounces on me alone. If the fellows make a row and Dickie looks round, they all put on grave faces, but because I cannot stop laughing like the others, I am always penalised. Mam got a card to-day from Mrs. MacDonnell asking if I would come to tea to the Pavilion, so I went down at 5. Sophie and Irmah were there also, and we had a fine tea. Lola and Cáitín are going to Blackrock Convent now. It was Cáitín’s birthday to-day, but I never knew it. Mrs. MacDonnell’s latest notion is to go for a holiday to California. She is really very kind, and has asked Sophie and me to go to Castlelack for Whit Sunday and Monday! – Duffy’s circus is on now. Lola and Diarmuid were at it, and it was full of Indians and Zulus and Chinese. Saw in paper that the great Indian Gandhi will be visiting Europe shortly.
