How rude!
I'm so sorry, Journal, but I'm glad that you are in my possession now.
See, my stepmother took away my journal! I do not know why she would do such a thing, especially since she took it as I was writing my last entry! Hmph...so I apologize for my abrupt end from yesterday. I wonder why she was being testy. My stepmother--Today's Lady Van Tassel--nursed my mother before she...well, before she passed. She died of a brain fever. Father thinks it was because of her "obsession" with romance tales. She read a lot, yes, and she gave me most of her books--like my spell book. I do not share it with Father much...actually, I do not share it at all.
The investigator should be coming tomorrow, but I pray for it to be sooner. Father is going to throw a little party ("Little"? Not really...) to try and lighten up our spirits over the murders. I don't really think it'd help, but...whatever it takes to take my mind off of these slayings.
I think I'll go knit something. Or read. Whatever is there.
