Much of the day spent in rememberance of my mother, Carole, of late memory. In the eve, Isobel, Andrew, and the baybee did come to sup with me, that I might not be alone on this mournful day, and we ate of food prepared in a most unusual way, in the manner of the people of the Orient. So also did my Lord's man, Johannes, dine with us, but soon thereafter he did take to the work my Lord did assign unto him.
