July 4 Mother and Nellie and the children visit the narrator and her husband John at the colonial mansion where they're staying over the 4th of July. The narrator's journal entry: "Well, the Fourth of July is over! The people are gone and I am tired out. John thought it might do me good to see a little company, so we just had mother and Nellie and the children down for a week. Of course I didn't do a thing. Jennie sees to everything now. But it tired me all the same." | |||||||||||
