Evening

At 6:15 Sidney returns home, and Florence takes him hot water.

At 6:30, the guests arrive; Florence welcomes them, and shows them into the drawing room.

The dinner seems to go well; the Brownes leave at about 9:30. Once the ladies have moved to the drawing room, Florence clears the last items from the dining room, leaving the men in peace.

At 9:00, after clearing up and washing up, Florence has a quick kitchen supper of bread and cheese.

Florence cleans Sidney and Julia's shoes, checks that the drawing and dining room fires are safe, turns out the downstairs oil lamps, and locks the doors and closes windows.

She then attends to Julia, helping her to undress and wash. She removes the slops.
