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,

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 eldest Miss Lindsay and I began the morning in attendance at the opera. There was not a large crowd for such a performance, but I delighted in the unique telling of Shakespeare's beloved Romeo & Juliet. I do enjoy such a diversion.

After a short music lesson in the next county, the remainder of the day was spent at the Disney estate. I am grateful to Mr. Disney for his vast walking paths and scenery. Today's visit included a bit of good-natured rivalry with Mother. I am eager to note that I was victorious.

Although I think fondly on the day's events, I am assured there is much excitement at the Delancey estate near twilight on the morrow...
