Wednesday Oct. 12.
Eliza Cliffe came to help Henrietta to bind music. I wd. not be bound to help her. An unsatisfactory day: my politeness drawing me one way & my studiousness another.
After consecrating about 12 hours to the binding business, H’s music book is bound almost as well as if she had paid 6s for it. How much is time worth? Sixpence an hour?--
The rain came on, & arrested Eliza in her way home. If Mrs. Cliffe is angry, she deserves to be drowned!— Music in the evening. Guitar, at least, & singing,—which ought to have been music.
