as kilvert would put it.
'I called on the higginses, the new tenants at clyro court farm. mrs. higgins came into the drawing room with two other ladies, and if there is a mistake to be made I invariably make it so I accosted one of the ladies as mrs. higgins and found afterwards that I was speaking to one of the miss bowens who always imagine that I know them so very well and who were therefore proportionately annoyed by the mistake.'
now no kilvert until may 6th (when he argues with mr. latimer jones).
yesterday
a walk up the hill to deliver the eggs (a discussion of the salt path). there was some rain but it looked insufficient to get horsemouth excused watering.
today
a pleasant enough morning. a little cloudy after a few bluesky days. horsemouth will be out to do the watering in a bit.
next week a friend visits (will horsemouth make it up to town?).
'at the flowering of the cabbage
and a praise song for the herring
'all my old men are dead but one.’
