March 12, 1913 - Wednesday

12 - Mae came over this P.M. But, wait; in the morning I was near-late to school anyway and, at Asylum Place I met Harriet's ki-yis who insisted on following me down to the railway station. When we got that far, all efforts to halt them proving of no avail, I right-about-faced and took them up the hill again and brought them back to her. I was, of course, awfully late for school, and so, telephones to Muz to ask if I might stay out altogether. Answer _____ "Nay, nay, Pauline", or words to that effect.

"Nay, Nay, Pauline" is the name of an 1898 song by Emerson Foote Jr and lyrics by Jennings Cox Jr. The sheet-music can be found at the New York Digital Library.
