Jim is come, at last!
Jim is here! Oh, I am excited! I've been longing so for him to be here since - well, I suppose really since right after he left, but since I've been here, particularly. I needed him, so much...
Prince Charming Dorian Mr. Gray has spoken so often of kangaroos being quite dangerous, I was beginning to be quite worried for my dear brother's safety, but I should have known he would be all right. He's far too brave and strong, that silly boy, to be hurt! He says that Australia is nice - I suppose he didn't run into many kangaroos - but also that there was quite a lot of red dirt. If he needs things washed, I shall do it for him. He has been too long away from my good influence, and he's very nice but not always very smart. He should always listen to my advice. I give good advice... when other people are concerned, at least.
...I don't want to think about that anymore.
But there's something Jim isn't telling me - something happened, I suppose, after I --- after that, and I wish he'd tell me! but he seems to think me not clever enough or strong enough or, oh, I don't know, something, so that he won't. Silly boy, he ought to remember that I am his older sister, not his younger. And besides... I've been through worse. I cannot think that anything he could tell me could hurt me much now, not since... not anymore...
...I don't want to think about that, either.
I'm simply glad, so very, very glad, that he's home, and I won't think about what may happen when he and Mr. Gray come face to face...
I shall gather a bunch of flowers, daisies or pansies or something very bright and cheerful, and put them in his room, that's what I shall do. I want him to know how much I've missed him.
