The tone of Frost’s diary is fairly static up until Monday, June 16. At first, she makes it very clear that she is not particularly fond of the ship and that she is uncomfortable. Some particular example of this would be on Monday, June 9 – she writes “I think sometimes I shall be crazy” which was in reference to her feelings about all of the screaming and crying children that were aboard the ship. On Friday, June 13 she writes “I have got up not being able to sleep for the heat.” At the time of that quote she also mentions that she had been stuck in bed because she was ill. On Monday, June 16 her tone takes a change. “Off at last!” Those are three words that signify the change of tone.

It is said that Victorian women often thought of their diaries as property of the family not property of their own. This perhaps could have had influence on Frost’s decision to conceal that personal information. Or another alternative could simply be that she intended on having her family read the scripts later on and she did not want to give them gruelling information on the implications of her pregnancy. Another aspect she does not divulge is the division of political stances between her husband and her father. Her husband, as mentioned is a Loyalist, and her father, a patriot. However this is not significantly revealed in her diary. The only mention of her father is a rather gleeful one. On Saturday, June 7 she writes “My
