Pagination:
vol.III, no. 2. 32
Remark:
1. I get me ready, donning colours becoming, and Gibb's best suit. -- 2. Arrive at the house of Mrs. Stadacona, who has such sweet daughters. -- 3. Am whisked (not kissed) by the pretty maid. -- 4. Final touch. -- 5. Conversational. Chorus: "How do? Happy New Year! Same to you!! Charming day!!! (Snowing heavily all the time.) Have a glass of wine!!!! Good morning!!!!!" (4 p.m.) -- 6. Where is papa all this time? Why, here he is in the parlour with the cat and the last Canadian Illustrated News. -- 7. I conform to the usages of society and drink inferior sherry to the health of Mrs. Caughnawaga. -- 8. Am overcome by the effects of the climate. -- 9. Foot-path most slippery. May I have many more firsts of January in Canada!
