=//Dear Journal,//=

//It has been one week since I've last wrote to you. Within that time span, I've been excelling in my studies. J'adore franҫaise, mais je n'aime pas Latin. I've also endeavored to learn Italian and my tudor says my drawings are improving. My dancing lessons are quite vexing and I have to practice everyday. Gabriell just had is breeching and is now strutting around the house in his newly earned breeches. He is absolutely comical. The latest gossip is of the marriage between John and Bridget who had married before they announced their intent in the parish. Of course, when I marry, I won't disgrace my family name is such a way. At sixteen years of age I will have to start thinking of these things even though I greatly detest bridal processions due to their vast amount of noise. Today, Sara, my best friend, is to visit and we will play a great game of cards, so I must get ready. // //Until I write again, // //Madelyn //
