User-Contributed Transcription (109!I thought I would cultivate Mrs Higginsons acquaintance a little, for as she is my God-Mother & it is high time I should know her.So I took her driving & laid myself out to be agreeable. She appeared to enjoy it, & said she had had a "feast of reason & flow of soul," when we got back; but never theless she is to Cynical, & sarcastic, to suit me, & then she has her highly interesting snip of a son, who is too stupid for anything.Still poor woman she has had an awfully hard time, & that makes her satirical I suppose. When we first went out here with our poney-phaeton, there was not one to be seen with a "rumble", but now they are springing up like mushrooms, & are getting all the rage. I have not read but one novel since we arrived, which I think is doing pretty well.
