Christening Day: Taken to church. Lots of people there admire my beautiful new outfit Granny knitted for today. Granny kisses me. Mummy gives me to a man in a long black dressing gown who shouts at me and splashes water in my face. Pull off his glasses and stick a finger in his eye. Scream until he gives me back to Mummy. Daddy looks cross. Mummy cuddles me in my shawl all the way home. Fall asleep.
