2nd November 1934

Still fasting, Mummy wets lips with a hanky soaked in water. That evening she became disgusted with Paulinenstift and indignantly told Sister Minna "This is not a nice place, you get nothing to eat and have to go dirty", as she had not been given a big bath.
The following days she was thoroughly fed up with being in hospital until on fifth day she was allowed to draw and paint with crayons. Sisters make a great fuss of Marion, Sister Emilie hugs her and both are much amused at her quaint German. She told her father in Sister Minna's presence, "They did not make the food good here, because the nurses learnt from men (doctors gave orders) instead of ladies teaching them to cook."
