Dearest Diary,
Today has been quite a full one for certain. It began with Lady Pigeon remaining quite indignant upon waking the in the early morning hours and therefore we proceeded with a walk about the grounds. Then began the preparation in the kitchen for the most fantastical feast to take place on the morrow. There were noodles to roll out and cakes to prepare, and amid such clamour, the Lady and I were interrupted by a snake who made himself a home neath the benches on the lawn. A gentleman passer-by heeded our cries for help and coaxed the wretched serpent away, though admittedly not without some fear and hesitation on his own part. Nevertheless, I am deeply grateful for our rescuer.
Upon his departure, quite another stranger happened our way and this one happened to be much more handsome and much more the sort I should like to be surprised by more frequently. He stayed mainly near the lakes and paused only momentarily to glance our direction and wave. However untoward that might seem, as we've ne'er been introduced, I enjoyed the generosity of his smile and the friendliness of the gesture. (And perhaps even more so, the firmness of figure he possessed, but that is between you and me, dear Diary).
Mother and Sister joined me for tea shortly thereafter and it was then that the eldest Miss Lindsay and I paid a visit to the Disney estate with a somewhat smaller traveler from the north of the country. He seemed to enjoy the luxury of the gardens as it was his first visit to such an extravagant estate. He did well to mark the occasion that he might return from whence he came with some very great memories.
The evening called for a reading of a well-known fairy tale and it was quite a pleasant one. And now it is time to retire, for there is much to anticipate on the morrow...
