Got up early in order to get our
things together. Took a taxi to
the White Star line pier. Got to the
boat about Eleven A.M. Miss
Delaney and Dr. Barbour came
to the boat to say good bye. They
brought us such beautiful roses.
The Oceanic left the wharf at
Twelve. The afternoon was fine
and the water smooth. We
have two large outside cabins
and are very comfortable.
Table board good. Laurie not
felling so very well but I ate
everything I shouldn't for dinner
and enjoyed it very much.
Wore a blue skirt and blue silk waist-
trimmed with white lace and
some of the roses Miss Delaney brought
me. Service good and the
orchestra very fine. Music adds
greatly to the pleasure of dinner.
This is going to be good, I can tell! Is your family Scots, Laurie?
ReplyDeleteThe Frasers are Scots, and the MacGillivrays too. But going back another generation, there are the Roys from England. They all lived in Nova Scotia in the 1800s. The Roys were first in New England but due to their English loyalties, had to make a detour to Nova Scotia...need I say more? Meanwhile, on my mother's side, I am a loyal member of the DAR.
