January 3, 2010

Dearest Diary,

Tomorrow I return to the schoolchildren and begin our winter lessons. It will be nice to get back to such a routine. But I have enjoyed my time on holiday. I again today made my rounds in the grounds of the Grenada estate and considered whether I might go for a ride on horseback. I usually prefer the horseless horse variety.

I have started reading from a new author from Italy. He was the gentleman I told you of yesterday. The criminal turned good. I must say I have found it a fascinating tale. And he did send notice via the courier today expressing his interest in becoming better acquainted. It makes me wonder, however, how close is too close to become acquainted with such a well-known criminal.

He is not one I would consider an eligible bachelor, but it does lead one to wonder why such power can be found so appealing to the gentler sex. I am certainly intrigued by such command, and wonder whether I might enjoy the company of a duke or lord better than one's average parishioner.

Perhaps it's something to ponder tomorrow...
