Sunday.
Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,
Isn’t it funny? I started to write to you yesterday afternoon, but as far as I got was the heading, “Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,” and then I remembered I ’d promised to pick some blackberries for supper, so I went off and left the sheet lying on the table, and when I came back to-day, what do you think I found sitting in the middle of the page?
A real true Daddy-Long-Legs!
I picked him up very gently by one leg, and dropped him out of the window.
I wouldn’t hurt one of them for the world. They always remind me of you.
We hitched up the spring wagon this morning and drove to the Center to church.
It’s a sweet little white frame church with a spire and three Doric columns in front (or maybe Ionic—I always get them mixed).
A nice, sleepy sermon with everybody drowsily waving palm-leaf fans, and the only sound aside from the minister, the buzzing of locusts in the trees outside. I didn’t wake up till I found myself on my feet singing the hymn, and then I was awfully sorry I had n’t listened to the sermon. I should like to know more of the psychology of a man who would pick out such a hymn.
This was it:
Come, leave your sports and earthly toys
And join me in celestial joys.
Or else, dear friend, a long farewell.
I leave you now to sink to hell.
I find that it isn’t safe to discuss religion with the Semples.
