Dearest Diary,
I cannot deny my carelessness in resting well into the afternoon. However, I am exceedingly grateful for the abundance of sleep. It is not often that I should wake with no pressing engagements. Therefore, on days like this one, I make allowances for excessive rest.
At the moment I did arise, I made haste to an establishment where my friend and I are members. And upon returning home, I found the day rather productive. New lanterns were received at the estate and a very great task was completed. I am now able to retire once more with the promise of renewed strength on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,
It seems my visits to the coast are becoming increasingly shorter and the journey much longer. Exhaustion inevitably follows. Nevertheless, I have once again arrived back at the Tower View estate long enough to put pen to parchment and get a bit of rest. I shall away again tomorrow to return to the Granada estate and then to the company of good friends and good sport.
I have felt discouraged by the lack of results in such training but am determined to be persistent. I am certain that regardless of how I feel at present, the active nature of the hobby is sure to bring a result of some kind in the near future. I only desire it bring the proper gentleman into my acquaintance. If no Happiness was achieved today on the matter, then perhaps tomorrow?...

Dearest Diary,
I have again settled at an inn along the coastal regions and eagerly anticipate the lectures to be given at the University. Before the long journey, however I was fortunate to spend time with a close friend and to be given the due rest that holidays akin to yesterday's requires. It is not uncommon recently to find me engaged in sport, however, and today's seemed most advantageous. Would that I could recreate such sport on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,
There is much to say about a brisk walk to start the morning and a cooler climate for the evening. Coupled with the company of good friends and a story of courtship and fantastical beasts, there is inasmuch a wealth of Happiness. It is quite probable that you and I, dear Diary, are nearing the end of our particular correspondence. We had only vowed to make it through a year's time, and in only a fortnight, that year will come to an end. I do not pretend to think that we shall never inquire after each other again, but with the proper foresight, we might begin to prepare for goodbye. It does seem ashame given there is no light shed on the topic we so long to write about. Nevertheless it seems the lack thereof might be just enough to require a hiatus from such visits.
At present, however, I abuse the few moments I have with you with a premature farewell. I shall postpone such a departure and continue the account of my day. For the nature of the story I heard today is one that in many ways might be considered timeless, apart from the absurd and unusual details. Most of the day's activities continued to recall the themes again and again. It is the eve of yet another holiday and I do hope that the celebration might be improved by a story much akin to the ones I observed today on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,
What a splendid day today has been. I feel the surge of energy when remaining dedicated to my afternoon recreation and the evening meal was most refreshing. Following such activities, Sister and I paid a late evening visit to the Tower View estate and upon our return, a post had arrived from the aforementioned Col. Raven. The story contained within, though filled with moments of awkward pause, brought much laughter to my constitution. I shall return the correspondence without delay, but if you are at all acquainted with the Colonel, I am certain you could see the humour in the tale.
Nevertheless, I shall hastily put pen to parchment before we reach tomorrow...

Dearest Diary,
It seemed to be another successful day as I continue to give great attention to maintaining my figure. In such efforts I have additionally be introduced to a gentleman who is easy to admire. Such admiration, however has only been obtained from a distance. We have only just been introduced. There are no promises of seeing him again for a fortnight. Nevertheless my daydreams will be much less empty for the time being.
Prior to said introduction, I spent some time in the marketplace with the eldest Miss Lindsay and found it to be yet another successful visit. No doubt I shall be making the trip again on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,
The affair at the Delancey estate was quite the success. It was garnished with unusual delicacies such as pies named for the moon and apples sliced in the shape of the same. All who were in attendance were most pleased, I believe. Prior to such extravagance, however was a visit to the river for a swim as well as a stop at the schoolhouse. It is fortunate that I am able to journey to such a destination so frequently through the summer months. It brings much Happiness to visit with the other schoolmasters and children who must reside through the holiday.
The weekend promises a game of cricket and a trip once again to the more coastal regions. The cricket match begins on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,
The pain of sport is exceedingly great. Had I not participated a second day perhaps it would have subsided or at least weakened slightly. Unfortunately, I find great difficulty in tasks as common as walking or descending stairs. It is fortunate that my hands and fingers do not ache as much or we would not be having our nightly appointment, you and I. Nevertheless I am somewhat proud myself and the company I keep in our commitment to the sport. As she is apt to remit, this too shall pass.
Indeed I received another letter of intrigue today, though for our particular purposes it lacks significance. Perhaps soon the sport I engage in will lead a gentleman directly to my door. But for now we must dream again until tomorrow...

Dearest Diary,
It appears that my motivation extends into the early morning hours. I have for several days now been observant of the sort of things I have dined on and today was a day of a rather vigourous sort of recreation. No matter how painful such activity can be in its lingering hours, I am devoted to the sport and intend to repeat it soon. I am exceedingly grateful for the friend who is journeying alongside me. At the journey's end I fully expect a waiting husband. Perhaps it is the wrong sort of attitude with which to approach the topic, but I am nevertheless hopeful of that precise consequence.
Unfortunately there is still much for me to accomplish this evening. I must bid you goodnight that I might retire before dawn. Until tomorrow...

Dearest Diary,
My waking hours are far exceeding my expectations this evening. However, there is much excitement within me. When one makes up one's mind toward a very great aspiration, it is rather difficult to settle long enough to rest for the night. I cannot bring myself to do it. Nevertheless, I have retired to my quarters for the evening and will commence resting as quickly as I can succomb to it.
The reasons for such excitement are not a revelation anew for I had decided to take such measures yesterday. And in fact even longer ago. Unfortunately, I lacked the discipline to put it into practice. Perhaps I am being somewhat vague in my description, but I am certain you are not wanting in understanding. For I very much long to alter my figure for the better. A maiden of significant age cannot neglect such attention. And after not three days on smaller courses and more frequent dinners, I am pleased to note that my riding trousers have loosened a very small bit. This is encouragement of the greatest kind.
I shall begin preparations for additional sport on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,
The chief of my day was spent at the schoolhouse with the children today. We took a music lesson and some arithmetic as well as some games of sport. I have again been mindful of the courses I consume and became party to a particular establishment for the health and well-being of the commoners. I can hardly contain my enthusiasm.
And yet I still wonder at what sort of good such activity might behold. Can I be counted on to succomb to the charm of some other commoner in the establishment? Or must I continue to dine and attend the theatre without an escort save for my family or close friends? I dare not concede that such company is unwanted, and I savour each moment spent with either. But I long for such Happiness as is found in courtship and a potential engagement.
Would that such Happiness could begin tomorrow...
