| Description | She does not intend to write overland, but honours their 'alternate-day' system. Yesterday she drove to Ootacamund and back with Mrs Stevenson, collecting a fresh horse at the toll gate. They had sandwiches at Madame Yoder's and Mary injected herself for a bad headache. They shopped, visited the library to pay subscriptions and change books, and paid other calls. Mary relates that she has seen a bungalow with large rooms, but with no views, priced at 250 rupees per month; she is unlikely to get anything else so reasonable. She describes other visits, including Mrs and Miss Napier and Mrs Morant. Mary was at home by 7.45pm, driving the carriage while Mrs Stevenson talking incessantly. |
