Cat:
Mom brought home a photocopy of Mary’s daughter’s diary. She thinks I should read it. Apparently Miss
Percival and I have a lot in common. So far, I’ve managed to get through the first ten pages. Her
handwriting is almost disgusting, it’s so perfect.
Here’s what we have in common so far:
• A name (she’s Katherine with a
K
).
• Approximate age (she’s 18).
• (S)mothers.
• Fab dads who are really busy.
Here’s where we diverge:
• Katherine is a bit of a twit. All she talks about is parties and some boy she calls “Mister”
Whatever and who writes poetry.
• She never actually went to school. I keep seeing the word “governess.” Think
Jane Eyre
. Or
The Nanny Diaries
.
• She thinks dancing the waltz is naughty.
• She gets to drink at every party she goes to.
Katherine:
As if I could possibly regret a brilliant match! Sometimes I simply do not understand Mama at all. She
insists her writing is about such matters as imprudence and regret, yet she seems to know nothing at all
about the way life truly is. Honestly!
I wonder if I danced with my future husband last night. It all went too fast. There was a Mr. Troughton,
who had very pretty blond curls, but no chin. Mr. Pertwee wears a corset. Mr. Baker I rather liked; he is
quite handsome, rather Grecian in his aspect, and called me an “ebon Aphrodite.” I do wish he had not
had two dances with Miss Hartnell. There were several others whose names I do not recall. All were
young, all tolerable in appearance, all perfect gentlemen.
I believe I am going to like London very well indeed.
