27th July 1932

We three and our baggage motored down to Wispertal to spend a fortnight at a farm, Lankenmulle. the owners had a little girl one year, younger than Marion, and the two children were always together. We used to take Hitrude for walks with us and put the two of them into rowing boat in duck pond. They had trout fisheries there and Marion loved watching them catch the trout. Marion's great joy was feeding the chickens in barnyard with lhldtrud. One muddy day while doing this, they bumped into each other and fell into a big puddle of mud. 1Eldtrud we promptly passed in through kitchen window to her mother to get clean and Marion's white clothes were a sight. Lotte, the horse, was a great delight too.
