At last we were called to dinner, and I went down without papa as he never eats anything in the middle of the day.

I sat at the table with the lady principal and enjoyed very much seeing all the young girls trooping into the dining-room.

After dinner I went around the College with the young ladies and papa stayed in his room and smoked.

When it was supper time papa went down and ate supper with us and we had a very delightful supper.
After supper the young ladies went to their rooms to dress for the evening.

Papa went to his room and I went with the lady principal.
At length the guests began to arive, but papa still remained in his room until called for.
