This evening, after dark, they will all be gathering round a blazing fire for the traditional midwinter celebrations. A grand entertainment is planned and Primrose and Wilfred have chosen to recite a poem.They go up to the attics to rehearse in pace and quiet but there are so many things to look at and places to explore, it is hard to concentrate.
