[continued]

With [W] working temporarily in [...], I now have the children* from c6am to c6pm, and also help to put them to bed in the evening. On the first Monday** of this (abortive, workwise, as it turned out, as [W] worked too fast and was sent home at lunchtime), I became reconciled to the abandonment of my hopes for reading and writing, and accepted that in effect my time would be given to my children, whose interruptions preclude serious study. On Wednesday 12^th April following, our Vicar, Canon [XQ],*** suggested to [W] and me that I should consider becoming ordained.****
