4 Sunday (64-302)
Second in Lent
We only went once to church today
because of the school service in the evening.
We went for a lovely long walk
in the afternoon, round ranks in this way. It was a day one might expect in the
summer, the sun was so hot. Bealy brought back "Hear Ye, Israel" for us to play.
It was lovely but not so beautiful as "Hear my Prayer", Master Lough's first
record.
We did prep till bedtime. Edna asked to see us after supper and gave
us a packet of chocolates and sweets each. It was good of her to remember us.
She came down for her afternoon. She asked after daddy and mommy and as to how
we were progressing.

Ember Day
S.R. 6.41, S.S. 5.44
We had painting this morning. At about 11 o'clock we went shopping, Iris bought material for underwear which she is making up into Cami-bockers, camisole and knickers. The material is cream Shantune and we bought some lovely cream lace to trim them. We reckon out that all three garments will cost about 7/6 altogether, not so bad! We will probably be making a lot more when we have more money. We had a thrilling letter from Daddy plus photo of him. He looks the same dear Daddy and not changed at all, in fact he looks fine. He gave us the train times and we will follow him on his journey. He arrives on March 31 few days earlier than expected. Hurray!! Thrills, will all be together soon! Cheerio, pom-pom.

Ember Day
I returned to school today after a few days in bed and am glad to get to work again.
In the afternoon we watched the staff net-ball match, it was too funny for words, to see them play, they were so exhausted they played only 10 minutes at a time, and sat down in chairs too!
We won in the end but it was a good exciting game.
We went to "Lit" this afternoon and heard "The Three Wayfarers" by Thomas Hardy read.
It was dramatized for Miss Rowe and there are only two copies of it in England so we were lucky to hear it. Miss Rowe read to us too.

St David. Fly Fishing begins
Iris was still in bed and got up at 11 AM but did not go to school. We had no letters at all.
Mr Moore came in the evening.
Nora is reading "Boscobel" by Harrison Ainsworth and finds it thrilling.
N.H.
Wikipedia: William Harrison Ainsworth (4 February 1805 – 3 January 1882) was an English historical novelist born at King Street in Manchester. He trained as a lawyer, but the legal profession held no attraction for him. While completing his legal studies in London he met the publisher John Ebers, at that time manager of the King's Theatre, Haymarket. Ebers introduced Ainsworth to literary and dramatic circles, and to his daughter, who became Ainsworth's wife.

Iris is still in bed but is a bit better. We all went
for a charabanc ride at 11 AM returned at 3 PM. We went to Bailey gate and
rambled round. We had our lunch on carts etc. near the charabanc.
2 PM we were already on our way back. The drive was glorious. Nora took some grapes and oranges to Iris and after tea she took the Grammie up and played it. We had quite a good time there. Another girl Cina Strong was up there in bed too. So there were three of us (sounds like a "Ten Little Nigger Boys") We have a letter from uncle George and Mrs. Hawes.

We went to the VI B Dance this evening. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The dance lasted from 6:15 to 9:45 and it was nearly eleven before we went to bed.
Sooty told us at the dance that Billy Baker inquired about us and somebody else said a lady was looking everywhere for us this morning, so we presume that it must have been Mrs Hawes.
So everyone seems to have inquired about us.
The record "Chant sans Paroles" came from the "Paytons" today.
It was lovely.
