Dearest Diary,
The weather turned out to be rather unsavoury this afternoon leaving me much longer than I expected within the walls of the schoolhouse. The carriage ride home even proved to be particularly soggy. Before returning home, however I became engaged in a discussion of history and the origins of some of the more popular court dances. There were a few in our party who disagreed on the particulars, but it turned out to be a lively discussion that held my interest for quite some time. I cannot say which story was correct, but I did enjoy the subject very much. It has always been these sorts of details which have intrigued me so. With the anticipation of participating in a ball on the morrow, I was eager to hear what each had learned in their reading. I intend to do more reading on the topic when time permits.
But above such knowledge and understanding of the subject, it is the participation in the exercise of a dance that thrills me. Would that such opportunities came around more often.
It is uncertain, however whether there will be dancing tomorrow...
