Cahill. Miscellaneous. Out-of-sorts.
November.
1. Friday. In doors drawing all the morn-

table, to partake of more coffee and to obligingly
volunteer to read the daily paper to Mrs. Boley.

a companion of his, one Ferry, who obtaining
admittance under plea of urgent business, shared
his bed, being unwilling to go home in his pre-

off about noon. Shepherd up all the after-

damp day with suggestions of coming rain
in it. Felt rather unwell. Looked into
�Sunday Times� office, then uptown, interchang-

up. He stayed all day, the storm continuing.
