Missing Them

Orphan Vignettes Chapter 4- Tessie

Diary format

January 10th 1934

Dear Diary,

It has been really quiet around here since Annie and Molly got adopted by Mr. Warbucks. Nothing ever changes in our routine here and it's quite depressing. Since Ms. Hannigan got arrested a new lady took over for her. Her name is Frieda. She has curly red hair and keeps a container of licorice on her desk. She is so much nicer than Ms. Hannigan! I miss Annie and Molly so much. They were the two I always got a long to well with. I hope I get to see them more often. On Christmas we went over to the Warbucks mansion for a Christmas party. Annie gave us all really nice presents. Oh my goodness oh my goodness Mrs. Pugh is such a great cook. I love her pancakes!

I overheard Frieda talking on the phone.. it seems like Mr. Donatelli is working to get us all adopted in the next couple months. I am hoping I am the next person to get adopted. I can't wait to get out of this dump and a start a new life with a new family

Love

Tessie
