The next thing was to go over their flat & admire. It certainly looks pretty with fresh paper & paint & their simple furniture: the Tilden’s is so old fashioned & sort of “cluttery.” They have made the front bedroom into a study & Fritz was envious at once. Sara insists that she give up her room for him! And they have a new, beautiful Steinway player-piano! While we were rejoicing & exclaiming, Prof & Mrs. Pike came in to welcome us & then Mrs. Downey ‘s sister, Mrs Bollinger , & little Virginia . By the way, Mr. Bollinger died in California a winter or so ago. It was hard to tear ourselves away from all the excitements, but Sara insisted that Miss Tilden would be expecting us. So off we went to see her new abode. She was watching for us, & came running out with a warm welcome & ushered us with pride into her new home. It is certainly delightful!
