She was much excited over her father's birthday, for which she helped me bake a cake and she bought golf stockings and a tie herself, decorating breakfast table with forget-me-nots and cowslips. She loves writing compositions and illustrating them for Calvert School,in fact she enjoys learning. She even refuses to take the ordinary holidays, saying she wants to get above the other children who started schooling Easter 1935, whereas she commenced 5 November 1935.
