Well, our dinner party was allright. But it was not so pleasant as that hos Grahls, because there was not so much young people. It was only notary and I. But we got very good salmon and chickens and ice. And that extraordinary Rehnwine. Very good indeed. After the dinner the gentlemen smoked in my room and I dared to take a cigarette before old Herlitz came in. Then I disappeared.

And when the gentlemen later in the evening sat down to play bridge, I sat and looked gentle well bread with the ladies and eat plenty of fruit and sweets. And an apple and some pieces of sweets. I hid for next day. And at half past nine the supper was eaten, and then the invited departed.

But I was not at all sleepy, so I would not go to bed at once, and when I came into my room, I was met by a strong scent of smoke. ”Oh”, I thought,”now I will make use of this”, and so I sat down pulled up from my drawer two cigaretteboxes, which I have got from uncle Paul, and so I lighted a perfect “Ladies First”.

And as I had got a letter from my dear cousin Greta just that morning, I begun to answer that. And after a while I went to bed in those clouds of smoke. Yesterday I was invited to that charming girl Ragnhild G. in the morning. We had a cup of coffee with very good cakes and we chattered with her eldest brother, who will become a medical man. And so I must play on the piano, of course. Today I shall go out shopping to buy silk to a gown. I shall sew it myself.
