Show JUNE MUSINGS. Where shall we go this summer? To the mountains or seaside? Or when shall we shut the house and seem gone? How much shall it cost? Mosquitoes? Malaria? Any rooms in which one can take a square Continental turn round in? How many trunks? How many dresses? How near is the farmhouse kitchen to the hogpen? Doth our bucolic host eat in his shirt sleeves? Or smell of the stable? "Biled [boiled?] dinner" four times a week? Butter weak or strong? Boating and bathing. Goose pond at the front door. Twas thus last summer? Any other boarders? Will the coffee cups and saucers be as heavy and thick as last summer? And as badly nicked? Will the beef be as tough as that of last summer? |
