The 1818 diary is entered into a copy of The Ladies Select Pocket Remembrancer for the Year 1818. Elizabeth comes of age this year, and some rearrangements take place of her finances and her method of accounting, but generally her life at Kipping continues much as in the previous year. Regular visits with the Brontë family continue, as well as renewed contacts with the Franks family, beginning with a dinner party at their house on 7 September.
