In her journal~~
[entry in her diary, so technically private, but feel free to comment to communicate with her nonetheless]
I fear I am quite lax when it comes to writing in this journal; it has been a dreadfully long time since last I entered anything at all in these pages. Truth be told, there has been very little of any note worthy of being written about; indeed, since Jane's engagement, nothing at all has occurred to me or any of those within my little circle.
Perhaps I have been too much out of the larger sphere, for I believe I have heard some rumors of -- what, precisely? Murder and mayhem, as it were, though I cannot believe anything could have grown so bad as all that. A fight, perhaps, of some sort; a duel, I should imagine, and quite possibly someone very wounded. Yet I remain quite out of the main loop of things, and know next to nothing about it, save that it somehow involved the younger Mr Potter.
So, despite whatever excitement may have passed over my head (more's the pity! it may have been a way to lessen the curious flatness of this place!), the most eventful incident in my mind still remains Jane's engagement to Mr Bingley. Since the first announcement, I have not heard any further word on the subject. I do not even know when the happy event is to take place! I daresay I have been even more neglectful of my dear Jane than I have of this journal!
Well, all the same, things shall, I am sure, work out in some fashion or another, much as they ever have.
