Budget No.1 was written by the siblings in Sept. 1906. It is now February 1908 and they are up to Budget No.11.
Arthur goes to a dinner party, and accidentally wears one brown and one black boot. A lapse of social etiquette;
Edmund is choosing new wallpaper for Hallam Fields Parsonage;
Avice is interviewing new servants for Garfield House School;
And Bernard describes Vera’s appearance as an International on Wednesday 18th March 1908 - England played Scotland at Richmond in London. Bernard describes the scarlet hockey skirts, the excellent game and the second-rate tea which was served to them afterwards.
