Mr. Pattinson called this forenoon on Marie + me had a very pleasant, long chat, as Mr. P said she felt homesick to see Marie. Her little [Madgie] was glad too to have Max to play with. In the evening I went out and selected a place for my observatory, met Mr. W. Bishop, G Marks + r. Graham. Marie, Max + I were sitting later in the evening on the verandah where we heard a lady singing a German song—Shubert’s Ave Maria, this was joy for Marie + me. We quietly entered the parlor and sat down. This was followed by others familiar to me. The lady was the one who sat opposite to us at the table and [where] we had not suspected of being German, altho’ I had warned Marie to be careful what she said (to me in German). After she left the piano I went up, [air] apologizing in German looked at the music, after speaking with me she immediately went to Marie and expressed her joy in meeting Germans, we being the [deemed] only she has met here in 7 months. He told me how she smiled when she heard us speak at table and told her friend Mrs. [Ginnemeau] about it but added to her “Don’t give me away.” We enjoyed this casual meeting + acquainteance. She is Mrs. N Lehmen her husband being mining engineer and superintended of the Rabbit Mountain silver mine.
