ng the whole trip. Another time
I should take a larger stock of oranges, lemons and other fruit.

3 P. M.--We have just been up on the bridge for a first sight of
the Emerald Isle. So long as there was no immediate prospect of
setting foot on land, I could get up no spirit to write or think. I
have worn the old velvet-trimmed black silk dress right through,
and it is pretty well salted. I should love to have Lucy and Louise
and Maud along on this trip, with sister Mary, too. What a jolly
lot of tramps we would make! Well, their one ray of hope is to
"pull through" the free academy and get on their own feet. There is
plenty of good in store for all who can bring themselves in line to
get it. Holding a dish right side up to catch the shower is the
work for each one of us. How much I do think and hope for the three
nieces now entering womanhood. For Susie B. Jr., and little Anna O.
and Gula, I shall think and hope by and by. As for the nephews, I
do not forget them, but they'll fight their way through somehow, as
have all boys before them....

Dinner is over and an hour's talk at table after it. The Englishman
Mr. Mullinor, summed up: "Your country will come to ruin from such
doctrines as you woman's rights folks advocate;" and I have put the
case to him to the best of my sea-brain's ability. This is the very
first time I have let my tongue loose. We expect to be in Liverpool
tomorrow early, and then I will write you. Just take it for granted
all is well with me, and I will try to do the same with you.

Miss Anthony found at Liverpool a cordial letter from Mrs. A. A.
Sargent, whose husband was now United States Minister to Germany. She
welcomed her to Europe, saying: "You always have the entree to our home
and hearts. Come and stay as long as you will." A note from Mrs. Stanton
to her "beloved Susan" said: "I came up to London the moment I heard of
the arrival of the British Prince. To think of your choosing a 'Prince'
when a 'Queen' was coming! I am on the tiptoe of expectation to meet
you.... I write in the suffrage rooms surrounded with ladies."

A week later the diary records: "Left London at 10 A. M. for Rome,
Rachel and self, also Hattie Daniels, Alice Blatch and Mrs. Fanny
Keartland, five in all, three of the Eagle and two of the Lion, each
glorying in her own nationality!"
