'I had all the youngsters in my own charge. We got on however capitally for I found a nice story in Chatterbox which I read much to the edification of us all & after that at the girls' request after Walter & Godfrey had been put to bed Harry, Sissy, Dotty & I read a couple of chapters out of the New Testament taking each a verse in turn, when we had finished the youngsters were tired & ready for bed so I let them go & read away at the Weekly Papers till Polly came home which she did at a little after nine o'clock.'
