From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:

I love rainy days at school. We all bring our lunches and eat them at our desks and sometimes Miss Hare reads us a story while we are eating but today she didn’t. Aunt Tillie had made me beautiful thin chicken sandwiches and she cut off all the crust. Ellen and Wesley saw me open them and wanted to trade and I of course had to be polite so I had sardines and sausage sandwiches instead. Just the things I don’t like and so I wasn’t very happy.
