Hetty Feather's Diary: Birthday

82 Comments

My name's Hetty Feather - and this is my diary.

Birthday parties are meant to be happy occasions! But not when you’ve got Lady Grenford in the family! She tried to ruin Miss Emily’s birthday for everyone and get her married off to her grandson. Can you imagine? Emily’s far too young and too clever to get married, especially to someone as horrid as that!

Thank goodness me and my friends did our best to make everything right. We worked as a team and it paid off. Afterwards, Gideon and I said it was just like being back in the Foundling Hospital and out-witting Matron. But this time, it was a real family we were fighting for. And it seems to have been worth it. After they’d cut the birthday cake, Mrs Calendar smiled at me and thanked me for a lovely day. She didn’t need to say anymore – but I knew what she meant. I’d helped her and she appreciated it!

But best of all, now Lady Grenford and Brody are gone, the Calendars can be a happy family once again – and I knew I’d helped bring them together. To me, that’s better than any present, ever!

I finished my duties in record time, read my responses below.

Hetty Feather: Dear U17071227, Thank you for your letter. I help prepare food every day at Calendar Hall \u2013 always traipsing upstairs with trays for the family. So preparing food for your own family sounds lovely! I\u2019d love to do that. It\u2019s always good to help the people that we love \u2013 it\u2019s special! Yours, Hetty Feather.
Hetty Feather's diary replies: U17071215: My favourite family memory was when my little cousin was born! It was my favourite because now I can teach her things like how to be small on the outside yet big on the inside!! Hetty Feather: Dear U17071215, Thank you for your letter. It must be such fun to have a little cousin! Teaching her must be fun too. You\u2019re right, even little children can be big on the inside \u2013 and it\u2019s important to be kind to others too. That\u2019s what makes friends and family happy! Yours, Hetty Feather.
Hetty Feather's diary replies: the grandmaster: my favourite family memory is when I went to the christening of my first baby cousin he was so cute. Hetty Feather: Dear the grandmaster, Thank you for your letter. I remember the christenings of the babies at the Foundling Hospital \u2013 they were cute too! But it was also sad because they didn\u2019t have a family around them. To have a family and a christening must be such a happy occasion! Yours Hetty Feather.

Hetty Feather: Dear BlueCosmicGymnast12, Thank you for your letter. I\u2019m so glad I saved the party \u2013 and that the Calendars are happy once more. Helping your family and friends is one of the best things you can do ever. And making them gifts too is also very special! They\u2019re lucky to have you! Yours, Hetty Feather.

Hetty Feather's diary replies: HuffleCorn8092: The most memorable thing that has happened in my family is my (half) sister having a baby girl. I helped out a lot with taking care and feeding her. I believe that this is the best thing I've done for my family because it has been quite hard at times with my sister getting a new house and having to unpack whilst going to work. I (and my family) helped out a lot. Hetty Feather: Dear HuffleCorn8092, Thank you for your letter. It must have been lovely to welcome a baby girl into your family. You must also have been very helpful too. I know it\u2019s hard work doing chores in Calendar Hall so I understand that helping your family is hard work too! Yours Hetty Feather.
Hetty Feather's diary replies: Book reader dancer: The best thing I've done for my family is making them proud by writing stories and reading to my brother and parents to make them happy! I really enjoy writing stories and reading them out because it puts smiles on everyone's faces as well as my own. Hetty Feather: Dear Book reader dancer, Thank you for your letter. I love that you are a writer too! And you get to read your stories to your family. I\u2019m sure it makes them proud \u2013 and if it makes them smile then that\u2019s even better. Writing in my journal is sometimes the best part of my day! Yours, Hetty Feather.
Hetty Feather's diary replies: U17025487: The best thing I have ever done is made tea for every one. Hetty Feather: Dear U17025487, Thank you for your letter. Making tea for everyone is lovely thing to do for your family. I make tea for the Calendars every day \u2013 but that\u2019s my job. I\u2019d love to be with Ida and to be helpful to her too. But for now, my friends at Calendar Hall are my family! Yours, Hetty Feather.
