00:00I started with the children's bickerings before 7 a.m. and seemed to go on all day,
00:06spent the morning scrubbing. We were to have another family photo before setting off for
00:12Brecon children's party, but could not face it and cried off. John was vexed, so I was crying again.
00:20However, calmed down and set off for the party in fairly good form. The party was very noisy
00:26and the baby was yelling, very miserable, as I always hate all parties. But the nuns were very
00:34nice and interested and kept telling me how wonderful I was, which restored my flagging spirits a little.
00:43And Kilvert, Wednesday, the 9th of February, 1870.
00:48Old Sarah Probert, groaning and rolling in bed. I read to her Mark, chapter 6, and made sure she knew

01:09and her daughter, a young mother with dark eyes and her hair hanging loose, nursing her baby and
