I wonder how old the twins are? From the way she treats them (having to tell them a story so they’d go back to sleep), I am imagining five year olds. That’s quite a gap.

All I could do was grin, though, since I was transcribing an artifact rather than writing something that was informed by better understanding.

And yes, we’ll stay with MWF. If you think I’m a tease, think what it would have been like in 1934 when you’d have to wait a whole month! : )

I think I’ve seen many of the 50+ years later versions of these thoughts of Anne’s. I suppose you’re going to keep with your Monday, Wednesday, Friday scheme instead of the eminently more logical Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday scheme.
