o'clock
Agnès came up , and has been fussing about for the last hour . Best love from your affectionate daughter , Elizabeth . Nazeby Hall , _ 30th July _ . Dearest Mamma , -- Yesterday was the best day we have had yet ; the nice men had not to field at all , and the stupid cricket was over at four o'clock , and so we went into the gardens and lay in hammocks , and Miss La Touche had such nice shoes on , but her ankles are thick . -LSB- Sidenote : _ Ghosts in the Corridor _ -RSB- The Rooses told me it was n't `` quite nice '' for girls to loll in hammocks -LRB- and they sat on chairs -RRB- -- that you could only do it when you are married ; but I believe it is because they do n't have pretty enough petticoats . Anyway , Lady Doraine and that horrid Smith creature made a place for me in the empty hammock between them , and , as I knew my `` frillies '' were all right , I hammocked too , and it was _ lovely _ . Lord Valmond and Mr. Wertz were lying near , and they said agreeable things , at least I suppose so , because both of them -- Lady Doraine and Mrs. Smith -- looked purry-purry-puss-puss .
