Dearest Elizabeth-
We had planned for a trip to the University today, so that the Master could get a head start on his studies, and also attend a swing dancing lesson scheduled for the evening. He had been talking enthusiastically about dancing again since coming back from the "Dawg Days" celebration on Friday. None of us knew that he had planned on attending - apparently a lady friend of his had invited him - but needless to say we were all delighted at his new-found ambitions. Some of us even whispered about the old days coming back again.
Then upon waking today, the Master appeared to have second thoughts. He discovered that his studies could be safely done tomorrow afternoon, and he also noted that the swing dancing lesson was "only for beginners". When he came to the decision to cancel, he said it lightly, as if it was no consequence. Yet as he settled down to his devices, I glimpsed his hand shaking. I believe he is afraid.
Now the household is in a state of nervous anticipation for the coming days. Certainly the master has in the past shown himself to be a very capable person, and we hope tomorrow he will find the energy to get done what needs to be done. I don't really want to think about the alternatives.
Sincerely-
