COMMENTS ABOUT CHRISTINE

"We had Christine for nearly a month - poor plucky girl. What a struggle for life she has - she has greatly enjoyed her stay and it has done her good. May heaven help her work." - Charles Reginald Enock

"Obviously I was younger, and I remember them so well, as being such totally different characters. Aunt Dora, rather formal, and aunt Christine, the youngest of the three sisters, not formal at all, and very much she was sort of kept at home as a girl, but I do remember them, I’m so glad I do." - Joan Enock
