https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D8QVtt9Lq8 We’re going to begin threshing oats to-morrow. A steam engine is coming and three extra men. It grieves me to tell you that Buttercup (the spotted cow with one horn, Mother of Lesbia) has done a disgraceful thing. She got into the orchard Friday evening and ate apples under the trees, and ate and ate until they went to her head. For two days she has be..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JHsjEK5g1w This is Sunday afternoon. ​ Amasai (hired man) in a purple tie and some bright yellow buckskin gloves, very red and shaved, has just driven off with Carrie (hired girl) in a big hat trimmed with red roses and a blue muslin dress and her hair curled as tight as it will curl. ​ Amasai spent all the morning washing the buggy and Carrie stayed home from ch..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3eOm_rwLBU Their God (whom they have inherited intact from their remote Puritan ancestors) is a narrow, irrational, unjust, mean, revengeful, bigoted Person. ​ Thank heaven I don’t inherit any God from anybody! I am free to make mine up as I wish Him. He’s kind and sympathetic and imaginative and forgiving and understanding—and He has a sense of humor. ​ I like t..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anMdrxRm0yk 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 m..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HpaHtWvSWU You must be mad to live in a city when you might live on a farm. ​It is my daily business to hunt the eggs. I fell off a beam in the barn loft yesterday, while I was trying to crawl over to a nest that the black hen has stolen. And when I came in with a scratched knee, Mrs. Semple bound it up with witch-hazel, murmuring all the time, “Dear! Dear! It se..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X5wlXhyvy4 Lock Willow, July 12th. Dear Daddy-Long-Legs, ​ How did your secretary come to know about Lock Willow? (That isn’t a rhetorical question. I am awfully curious to know.) For listen to this: Mr. Jervis Pendleton used to own this farm, but now he has given it to Mrs. Semple who was his old nurse. Did you ever hear of such a funny coincidence? She still ca..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSw97UpzIMk Lock Willow Farm, Saturday night. Dearest Daddy-Long-Legs, ​I’ve only just come and I ’m not unpacked, but I can’t wait to tell you how much I like farms. ​This is a heavenly, heavenly, heavenly spot! The house is square like this: And old. A hundred years or so. It has a veranda on the side which I can’t draw and a sweet porch in front. The picture re..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nurvb0Gtv4 June 9th. Dear Daddy-Long-Legs, ​ Happy day! I’ve just finished my last examination—Physiology. And now: Three months on a farm! ​ I don’t know what kind of a thing a farm is. I’ve never been on one in my life. I’ve never even looked at one (except from the car window), but I know I ’m going to love it, and I ’m going to love being free. ​ I am not use..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIeePfuG6Dw She was furious with me for taking him off. ​ It seems he ’s an unusually rich and desirable uncle. It relieved my mind to find he was rich, for the tea and things cost sixty cents apiece. ​ This morning ( it’s Monday now) three boxes of chocolates came by express for Julia and Sallie and me. What do you think of that? To be getting candy from a man! ​..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3zSzXCrfLU We walked all over the campus from the quadrangle to the athletic grounds. Then he said he felt weak and must have some tea. He proposed that we go to College Inn—it’s just off the campus by the pine walk. I said we ought to go back for Julia and Sallie, but he said he didn’t like to have his nieces drink too much tea. It made them nervous. So we just ..
