 The Anne and Emily Diaries (1837)
/Дневники Энн и Эмили Бронте (1837)
Anne / Emily Joint Diary - 1837
Once again, a jointly composed diary paper, though written mostly in Emily's hand. At the bottom, Emily drew a very rough, labelled sketch of herself and Anne sitting at the dining room table with their diary papers strewn across the surface (see link above). Anne was 17 years old at this time, and taking her summer holidays from Roe Head School. (N.B: A number of spelling and punctuation errors present in the original manuscript have been corrected in the copy below.) Monday evening June 26th 1837. A bit past 4 o'clock, Charlotte working in Aunts room, Branwell reading Eugene Aram to her - Anne and I writing in the drawing-room - Anne a poem beginning 'fair was the evening and brightly the sun' - I Agustus Almeda's life 1st vol - 4th page from the last. A fine rather coolish then grey cloudy but sunny day. Aunt working in the little room [the old Nursery], papa gone out. Tabby in the Kitchen. The Emperors and Empresses of Gondal and Gaaldine preparing to depart from Gaaldine to Gondal to prepare for the coronation which will be on the 12th of July. Queen Victoria ascended the throne this month. Northangerland in Monkeys Isle - Zamorna at Eversham. All tight and right in which condition it is to be hoped we shall all be on this day 4 years at which time Charllote will be 25 and 2 months - Branwell just 24 it being his birthday - myself 22 and 10 months and a piece, Anne 21 and nearly a half. I wonder where we shall be and how we shall be, and what kind of a day it will be then, let us hope for the best. Emily Jane Brontë - Anne Brontë Up the side of the paper Emily added a little more to the diary, presumably relating to the conversation that followed: I guess that this day 4 years we shall all be in this drawing-room comfortable, I hope it may be so. Anne guesses we shall all be gone somewhere together comfortable, we hope it may be either.
At this point it seems that 'Aunt' [Elizabeth] entered the room, and Emily recorded the conversation: Aunt: "Come Emily, its past 4 o'clock." Emily: - "Yes Aunt." [Aunt leaves the room] Anne: "Well, do you intend to write in the evening?" Emily: "Well, what think you?" (We agreed to go out 1st to make sure, if we get into a humour we may stay . . . ) ----------------------
