'The Glorious day Spring Cleaning began... Aunt Mary, Aunt Frances, Aunt Charlotte, also Miss Carter (who wore Pink) called at our house ready to start on Father's Room. Everyone was having a delightful time. Aunt Frances sat on the stepladder reading something that made them all laugh. They loved Father's books on the top shelf and they read so much with such joy that it took them a week to do out the bookcases, but just when everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves including George & I who were building houses with books, young Sarah opened the door and announced Mrs Hope-Ainsworth. "Oh dear", said Miss Carter, dropping her books, "we've all got our aprons on", and the year was 1906. Helen Rayfield Bradley, 1971' (to label to reverse).
