From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:
Tante Esther was here all day today. I think she just wanted to say nasty things about Suzanne. I didn’t hear all she said because Grandmother kept sending me out of the room to get things for her. Once it was for her needlework and then her glasses but she had her glasses all the time. I thought she had but I knew that she didn’t want me to hear all the things Tante Esther was saying. I did hear her say some of the same words that Gladys used. I wish Tante Esther died instead.
