31 August 1912 — Bessborough, Fiddown, County Kilkenny | |
Saturday. 31st August [1912]. I was well again & able to work well at the scenery which made some progress. After lunch drove with Blanche in her poney behind little Flash, we went to Fiddown to see a poor consumptive girl who is living in a shelter in the little garden for the open air cure– She seems happy in it but she looks as if who of no good to her as a cure—her sad big eyes shone out of a long thin face. We went on to the house of a Mr Scott ex clergyman of the Parish—the church is now closed as being useless as the Protestants have dwindled so in numbers. The old Mrs Scott is paralysed. I held the poney while Blanche went in to see her & then we drove back to Bessboro’ to tea. After tea we took a long walk & visited Mrs Reid the wife of the forester– Played Coon Can in the evening. | |
