I cannot imagine how we will all of us live together there. I cannot imagine what she will say when she does so. Mama says she will 'visit the place' tomorrow. Instead I went to Captain Jones's tilt and put some purple daisy flowers upon the table. And anyway I did not think that it would work. But then I could not think of how to do it. 'But this is only the beginning,' he told me.įor a moment I thought of somehow taking away his papers and his quills and ink and destroying them. I have been to Papa and asked him to relent.

He went around exclaiming about how soon this would be 'his kingdom, his domain.' After the service Papa kept rubbing his hands together. I tried to be filled up with thankfulness but it is hard. Reverend Jacobs gave thanks for a good season and for the successful discovery of this new fishing place.
