. A belle. 
Yet graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride, 
Might hide her faults, if belles had faults to hide; 
If to her share some female errors fall, 
Look on her face, and you’ll forget ’em all. 
J’ope. 
AUGUST 14 
Osier ..... Frankness. 
He’ll suit his bearing to the hour, 
Laugh, listen, learn or teach, 
With joyous freedom in his mirth, 
And candour in his speech.

.. Dreams. 
Dreams are children of an idle brain. 
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, 
Which is as thin of substance as the air, 
And more inconstant than the wind. 
Shakespeare. 
To each and all a fair good night, 
And rosy dreams, and slumber light.
