Rookley Teaparty. Mother Julia and I went in the donkey gig. It was a most delightful ride to Rookley a very pleasant teaparty, and a beautiful home.
In the evening but a slight circumstance occured just before tea, which ruffled Mamas temper very much indeed so that from 3 o’clock till I arrived home and went to bed I think I never was so truly uncomfortable in all my life. I don’t fancy I shall ever forget Rookley Teaparty.
