Mother rather unwell, so Martha + kids not coming. I was to see them + at the cinema later.

The Legate’s Mass this morning. My seat though more expensive was worse than the previous one. – In the afternoon Martha came so I gave her my green membership card. I had grave pricks of conscience for being so selfish as to keep the excellent seat I had as a present from Anci for myself after…

I was most shocked. In spite of my hearty reassurances that I won’t go to Martha’s this afternoon Mother promised her that I would, when she phoned. The kids were rather bad and though M. returned early I came home late again. I nearly had a quarrel with Martha over different questions. If things go…

Bought a red frock this morning. Martha and Kids were here. Wrote a letter to Leo yesterday and included price of cinema ticket.

Martha came (?) + told us a most shameful thing about the “lady” who’s kindergarden the kids are attending. If a person has a little knowledge of children, such a thoroughly spoilt imagination + can show such a coarse + conda character it is a sin to let children into her hands. If I meet the…
