January 17, 2010


Dearest Diary,

My family has a special talent for eating cake if there is anything at all to celebrate. Yesterday's celebration included the arrival of my new settee and a certain victory of General Manning over Mr. Poe's raven. I am exceedingly glad of both events.

In addition to such excitement, I have again heard from Lord Barrymore who extended the invitation that I might call upon him. I shall resist for the present but we continue to exchange letters. He does not reside in this particular county but one about an hour's carriage ride from here. I am so hesitant in such matters.

Today's entertainment, however includes a visit with Mr. Disney who has the tendency to entertain guests of many an age and who might be of the marrying kind. I shall expect to visit with one or two of them.

And perchance again tomorrow...
