Oh what a summer. So dreadfully hot, and so dreadfully anxious. I can hardly sleep through the night anymore.
Much as I would love to closet myself away from the world, or take a trip to some more hospitable place, my duties bind me here. The summer season is always a gamble as one never knows what sort of people might be found even in respectable houses. I do have to admit that it seems appropriate now though to spend more time in bright colors and out of doors. The mourning period for my husband was blessedly short.
It's ao painful to think my son is denied so much of what is his birthright. I watch the children of my circle, young men and women moving on the edges of things like fireflies at garden parties. Oh how I wish this life was something simpler.
