Frances reads three letters, written by Cuthbert, Arthur and Vera in January 1910.

Arthur has been setting booby traps around the house.
Vera has thoughtfully provided three county hockey matches to entertain her siblings; they also go to watch the football and the rugby.
The siblings decide to have a fancy dress party at home, to celebrate Vera's 26th birthday.
They all go to the Duke of York's theatre to watch the play - Peter Pan, or The Boy who Wouldn't Grow Up,
Cuthbert alleges that both Winston Churchill and Herbert Asquith were alcoholics.

And the siblings write predictions, thinking it wil be interesting to re-read their letters in a year, to see what they wrote.
