15/28 October 1914

Seven classes today! It’s just too much. How do they expect me to keep all of this in my head? Professor Petrov is reading us a story by Turgenev, his favourite writer. He thinks I’m taking notes, but I’m really writing in my diary and will begin a letter to Papa if the professor doesn’t catch me first!

Ortino has eaten one of Mama’s shoes and is in disgrace – again.

30 October/12 November 1914

Mama, Olga, and Tatiana have completed their nurse’s training. We’re so proud of them! Mashka and I visit the wounded soldiers at Feodorovsky Gorodok, a small palace that Papa had built in the imperial park to resemble a traditional Russian village. It’s been made into a small hospital. The soldiers are far from home and very lonely. Some can’t even write their own names, poor things, peasants from the countryside who never learned their letters, and they ask us to write home to their mothers and sweethearts. We also read to them and feed those who are too weak to feed themselves. They’re so grateful for every small thing we do.
