Yesterday we went to a Court trial and a museum trail, to see what had happened since Queen Victoria was on the throne, like the sewer pipes she used had broken down or something like that. But they were ALL the same, only a bit grubbier, or the colour had died out. It was weird.
At the Museum of St Albans, a lady called Fiona gave us a short tour around the huge thing. We had about two minutes to look at each gadget in the bottom floor. We saw a Lady's Cigarette Holder, which holds your cigarette for you, and a moustache curler.
The tour we went to afterwards was the one of what happened since Queen Victoria was on the throne. "A very rich man," Fiona had said, "named 'John Blundell Maple' built a lovely big park. He gave all the money to the people here, in St Albans, and made this huge place. Lovely, ain't it? Year after year, builders set to work, scraping, measuring, building and farming. You, my sweethearts," she pointed to each of us children, "are standing in it. He was a philanthropist, and his wife wanted a bit of his motion, so she bought a stone fountain because clean water was very tricky to find then-a-days, and she let the doggies have their own little pouch too. Intresting, eh?"
We went inside and looked at other exciting and mind-blowing accasions, and Fiona told us too much about them, in my oppion!!
Now, for the Court. I was playing as the main part, Mrs Hannah Frost, who was a shop keeper. Matilda was master George Bill who was accused of stealing my cheese!! When the Usher said, "Who's Hannah Frost?" and I stood up, every one thought that I was seven years old (correct) and that I'd mumble or whisper (not correct) and they groaned and folded their arms, quite rudely. But, I spoke very nice and loud, though. Fiona got one boy dressed in Victorian prison clothes, but he didn't like wearing them.
Chao!
