Domestic food production was a resounding success!
Love how the Crofts enhanced the party; sure Sophie will continue to do so as she also learns herself (LOL - no pretensions or interest about rank - yes!). This is another helpful situation for Anne as they both wait...
It appears Mary will end up spending the majority of her time with the Stevenson branch of the family - good for her.
Glad Anne and Frederick were able to have time together; the war zones and sporadic communication must be difficult for both her and Sophie. At least they have an intelligent group with whom discuss current events and can get news.
Fun to see how the Musgroves have been fitting into this early scenario as well...
