The crowd in Edinburgh was great.

I addressed the working-men in the largest hall and received a present from them as did Mrs.Carnegie also--a brooch she values highly.

She heard and saw the pipers in all their glory and begged there should be one at our home--a piper to walk around and waken us in the morning and also to play us in to dinner.

American as she is to the core, and Connecticut Puritan at that, she declared that if condemned to live upon a lonely island and allowed to choose only one musical instrument, it would be the pipes.

The piper was secured quickly enough.
