I'll but seem a silent dream, standing on the secret ground.
Oh it's good to be back home at Andover. :) But I left Geebo and Simcha at home to live under ze Papap Spuk's care for the remaining two weeks before Christmas break, so I feel so lonely in my little room...
A package graced my porch with its presence this morning. It was covered with labels in Japanese characters, and it contained many wonderful memories. Mayumi is one of my favourite people in the whole world. I miss my beautiful sister...
I went to Corey's house this evening for dinner with the family. And the most wonderful thing happened. But shhhh, it's a secret! For now. I'll share it with you once I'm certain whether it'll work out or not. :)
I...
(She...)
I am a girl.
(She is a lass...as took a graidly fancy to thee. Dost thou fear?)
Tha mun not fear!
(She's took thee on for like to vex thee. Now't o'the soart.)
Now't o'the soart.
(She knows fair well, she mun not fright thee.)
Canna tha' show me?
(Fair better to know her!)
Show me the key?
(Show her the key. She's a lass and tha' art right, she needs a spot where she can rest in.)
I mun sit where I'll not be so thinkin' thoughts or feel a guest in.
(Now't o'the soart.)
Now't o'the soart.
(She'd fair be watchin' for the spring.)
I'll not be climbing up, I'll only be calling "good morning," and fair low I'll sing! I'll only walk around, just like to see it for myself, if tha' canst 'low me visit, I'll speak low e'en to thyself. Tha'll not be bothered night and day by wenches racing 'round, I'll but seem a silent dream, standing on the secret ground. I'd but smell the growing things, count the roses 'gainst the wall, hear thy babes when first they peck, stretch my hand if they should fall. Or if tha' likes, I'll bring thee seeds or worms all in a mound, for if tha'll have me for a friend, you'll be the first I've found!
I am a lass!
(A trusty lass!)
That took a graidly fancy to thee. Canna tha' show me?
(Fair well tha' dost know her!)
Show me the key?
(Show her the key.)
Goodnight, my loved ones.
