Dinner ordered an hour earlier. Two lady boarders arrived. The firm of Duke and Diamond intend to make much of their vacation from city business and will take a sail with all the ladies on board around the lake. Looks like an exploration: Perhaps there is business in it. It may be there is to be no more dependence upon the patronage of friends and acquaintances, but an advertisement to the great pleasure-seeking public of the claims of this place. However, the dinner will not be much regarded and must be short and easy.
