From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:
I asked Alma if I might stay in bed this morning because it was the Sabbath and God wanted everyone to rest. She said that she didn’t think I worked quite so hard all week that I needed a rest but that if I wanted to do it just to please God she supposed she would let me. So I woke up very early just like I always do but instead of taking a book to bed, I went down the back staircase to the yard and brought Brownie and Sherry up to my room. I put Brownie on the bed and Sherry on the soft chair next to it. Then we all went to sleep again. When Alma came in later and saw Brownie and Sherry she quickly pulled the drapes apart and curtains up and told me to get up and dress myself. She said that I know better than to have the animals up in my room. I told her that I was only obeying the fourth commandment. Didn’t God command that on the Sabbath everyone should rest, even the animals? Everyone in the house should rest and they can rest much better in my bed than they can in the yard. Then she said that Brownie and Sherry and I had rested enough and that we should get up, so we did.
