...My goodness, there's nothing like keeping busy to help a person keep from worrying. And to make a person forget to write in her journal, too. I'm glad I've finally made a list of it all, though; it'd be much harder to keep up with everything if I didn't have it all written down someplace. I do hope I'm not forgetting anything, though!

It's better to keep busy. If I'm not--well, no, I don't know when I'm going home, honestly. Not anymore. Though it seems as though some people can tell when they're about to be taken home, and I'd really thought--I don't know. But if it's true that time doesn't pass while I'm gone...then it's all right, if I don't leave here just yet, isn't it? Everything happens for a reason, Daddy would say. Every cloud has a silver lining. It's only right that I make the best of it.

Mm, it's nice to see that I haven't completely forgotten how to play Greensleeves, though. Still...perhaps I ought to branch out a little, and try learning something new instead. After all, just because I'll never get tired of it doesn't mean everyone else around me won't, either.

And here I'm hardly the marrying type.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know. She can be quite persistent when she sets her mind to something. You might find yourself agreeing to it just to get her to stop mentioning it.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

And though she'd not know it, it would likely be your death-- She's that persistent? How unfortunate for any of your suitors.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

That they'd find themselves bullied into marrying me? Fortunately for everyone concerned, I seem to have inherited quite a bit of stubbornness, myself.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

One can suppose where it came from, but that is fortunate.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

You dodged that peril very neatly, Cain. I'm quite impressed.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Peril? I saw no peril there.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

The phrase "how unfortunate for any of your suitors" can be interpreted a few different ways, you know. Depending on which interpretation was taken, you might've very easily offended my delicate honor.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Strangely enough, I was just having a very similar conversation to this one with another young lady.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And did you successfully avoid offending her delicate honor, as well?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I did, actually.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

How very clever of you. Once again, I'm quite impressed.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

It only comes with practice.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, is that what it is? Well, if you find it difficult to avoid such sticky situations altogether, then at least it's good to know how to get back out of them again, I suppose.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

That was my feeling on the topic. I'm sure you've never found yourself in such a situation.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Of course, I do try very hard to avoid going around offending the delicate honor of ladies. Well, unless they really deserve it.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I'd always been under the impression that it was easier for ladies not to offend the delicate honour of other ladies than for gentlemen.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I think that's mostly true. However, I also think that when a lady does offend the delicate honor of another lady, the end result is often much worse, because she's usually doing it on purpose.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

You know, that does seem quite true from what I've seen. The end result is often far worse.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I suppose some things never change, no matter where you go, mm? I imagine it's the same way here in the City, as well.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it is.
