Dearest Diary,

The morning arrived awfully soon today, but to the good fortune of sharing breakfast with a cousin from the mountainous regions. I delight in such conversation and do hope that he might return with the Mrs. Kirkham quite soon. I then returned home and made preparations to visit the Disney estate for the remainder of the afternoon. Many loyal confidantes and I were able to partake of the scenic paths and walking trails and it was not without much laughter. I cannot say when I last might have laughed as hard. We are the very sort of girls who are prone to such activity when we are united. I am dearly fond of each of them. Unfortunately the day's events have brought to me to you once again at a most unreasonable hour. I can be sure there will be more conversation on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,

Today was the sort of day in which I opted not to leave the estate. Suffice it to say it was not intentional, but at the surprise visit of a Mr. and Mrs. Ricardo, I have been engaged in rollicking laughter in their company. At present however, it may be necessary to journey to the Disney estate for some evening conversation and exercise on the scenic paths. Regardless, I shall be again on my way to the coastal regions in the morning. I shall return to you on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,

At the behest of my eldest sister, I spent the morning hours (or rather early afternoon) bringing a glimpse of order to the Granada estate as our summer guest seems to at present have a house guest. This pleases me greatly as it is a very great enjoyment of mine to entertain. I do hope that the guest feels welcome and comfortable.

Once my own quarters were in presentable condition, I had to away to the Disney estate in order that I might mingle with a friend and her endearing little boys. I am most amused by such an age, no matter how trifling they seem to be as they grow older. Would that the gentlemen my age could affect me in the same manner. On the contrary they tend to frustrate me exceedingly. Nevertheless, I still should desire one of my own. Perhaps he might call on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,

The summer holidays continue to be a delightful respite from the responsibilities at the schoolhouse. The day began with the weekly services and a lesson on the Psalms. Following the afternoon tea, the eldest Miss Lindsay and I made a visit to the Tower View estate of Mother and Father where two kittens were abandoned in their phaeton overnight. It is unclear why one would leave two helpless felines in the rear of an empty phaeton but it is most certain they endear themselves to anyone who wouldst hold them. I was most foturnate in that respect. The two are in desperate need of a home as we have not the room to board additional animals in either estate.

The evening brought a visit to the Disney estate and a stroll through the castle's lawn. Tonight offered a stunning view of Parliament from the castle steps. Although I am under no obligation, I am certain I shall revisit the schoolhouse on the morrow...
