Miss Murray's Journal Entry for October 26
Latin lesson. The first.
“Vertö (vorto) vertere verti versum: to turn, turn round, turn up; intransit, to turn oneself; milit. 'Vertere in fugam': to put to flight, rout. 'Terga vertere': to flee; to interpret, construe, understand in a certain way; to impute; to alter, change; to translate; to change for another, exchange. 'Vertere solum': to go into exile; to upset, overthrow; pass or intransit., of time, to roll round; pass to move in a certain sphere, to depend on, center in.”
Plentiful meanings for such a short word: Ver-te-re. Trisyllable, the infinitive conjugation of the verb vertö. The vague purpose of this city becomes clearer when we study the elements that build it, starting by the name.
Mnmnmn. The changes I have experienced in my past had only led to pain and regrets. But what is in an adult life but the sorrow to break from our childhood?
The further I explore my current residence, the more I marvel how this building resembles the secret annexe of the British Museum that used to be our headquarters. Even the portraits of our predecessors are split images taken from my memories. The library has a copious amount of volumes to keep me entertained for years if my preferences inclined in a scholar job. That would be very unlike me, to ignore the community and close the doors and windows away from the people.
I used to teach before he came, the divorce and the menagerie, perhaps I could turn back to those days.
Do you have our housing agreeable, Doctor Jekyll (Edward?)?
Good afternoon.
I-I request to p-parley with you two through this system, good sirs. I realise my behaviour has been obstinate and crude. That perhaps both of you are-aren’t like the one who assaulted me, rather more well-mannered va-undead.
Good Heavens, I shouldn't have contacted you but I must overcome the dread.
