[Over the journals this morning is a very primly written announcement. The handwriting is very tidy and--if possible--seems to suggest the writer's great love for the language she is using.]

[ Assuming this is later in the afternoon. ]

Dear Anne,

Any luck finding a flat yet?

JW.

[She stares at those initials for a long time.]

Dear JW,

I have some prospects in mind--the choice will be a tough one!

Dear Anne,

Make sure you don't work yourself too hard.

- John Watson

John! How are you? [Formalism? What formalism?]

[ written ] sittingtype November 19 2010, 18:42:52 UTC

Quite well. And you?

[ And added in after a few dots. ] Managed to get out of those depths of despair?

[ written ] slatebreaker November 19 2010, 18:46:05 UTC

I, too, am well. And I feel I have resigned myself to my fate.

[ written ] sittingtype November 19 2010, 18:59:34 UTC

That's one way of putting it.

Though--I have been helped to the alarming conclusion that I may not be able to know who to trust, here.

Oh? And why is that?

I'm fairly certain that a German boy told me not to trust the pirate--but who says I should trust the German boy?

[She wonders if, perhaps, John and Kida are the only two whom she can trust. This is a distressing realization.]

[ written ] sittingtype November 19 2010, 19:08:30 UTC

Oh no, you can't trust what the Germans say.

[ written ] slatebreaker November 19 2010, 19:10:13 UTC

You can't? [Oh, she knew it was too good to be true.] He said he thought my name was pretty.

[ written ] sittingtype November 19 2010, 19:14:09 UTC

You really can't. They are a rioty lot, the Germans.

[ written ] slatebreaker November 19 2010, 19:16:16 UTC

I'm not sure that someone who shares a name with a great composer can be called rioty.

[ written ] sittingtype November 19 2010, 19:53:27 UTC

[ He feels bad lying to her all the time. ]

Just bitter then.

[ written ] slatebreaker November 19 2010, 19:59:04 UTC

About what?
