21 - Did nothing with all my might all day. Mae and I had a duel with pillows in the afternoon but, as we had it in the yard, our audience got so numerous that we modestly withdrew. Besides it was raining.
Saw the Y.P. (Mae's name for Mr. L. and Mr. A., meaning Young Presumptiouses) at supper. I like Mr. Lloyd much better than Mr. Anderson who won't pay the least attention to Mae or myself but condescends to address a remark of the most sarcastic nature to the Nut (Dan) every once and so often. He very obviously regards Mae and me (especially me) as babes too insignificant to try his charms on. Too bad! He has awfully nice hair and a rather nice lot of manners, too, and I
might have got a crush on him.
I wanted so to see Don again tonight that I wept, poor fool. Too bad I haven't enough proper pride to get unstuck on anyone who has so politely but firmly shown me that I'm no one as far as he's concerned. But I
do want him so! I have not any pride, I guess, as I'd do almost anything to have relations on their former friendly footing.
