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,

The lectures have concluded for the week and we have begun the long carriage-ride home. It was a quite pleasant afternoon and I spent many hours walking by the waters. It appears they are well-stocked for those interested in fish. I took great interest in the pasttime myself.

I was delighted to receive a post from a friend in that region and it brings me great Happiness to return such correspondence. Nevertheless, it shall have to wait until tomorrow...

Dearest Diary,

I am fortunate to have arrived on the coast and am grateful for the conversation of my father on the journey. The task of delivering lectures at the University is decidedly less tedious than anticipated. Additionally, the inn in which we have settled for the evening seems to cater to many young chaps who are eager to assist in cleaning the tar from the shore. Though I admit to having resided in this bit of the country some time ago, I had forgotten that the gentlemen are unusually kind, if a little the worse for the sun. Nevertheless, I am delighted to have rediscovered it.

There are more lectures and another journey on the morrow...
