Coffee and Chatting

Oh dear! I’m afraid I won’t be keeping my promise in full – while I was all Good Intentions this morning, it’s not quite late and I don’t have time to write all that I had wanted so it must be delayed until the next tomorrow. I ought to have planned better, but I can’t bring myself to be unhappy over my failure as I spent my evening with one of my most cherished friends, Miss Woodwise! It was, as always, Supremely Pleasant and I was very touched to receive the grandest hat as a Birthday Gift. Mum and Father thought it looked positively spiffing when I tried it on at home (and though it may be vain to say, I quite agree).

We talked on a great many subjects over coffee and chai, from blithe discussions on wedding attire to musings on the troubles and needs of our world, and I was reminded of a Very Important Thing. I think sometimes it is easy to forget how important real, human connection is to our hearts and spirits, and how much we gain in our lives by having Good Friends. I know I am sometimes prone to melancholy, especially when I think of all the Injustices I wish I could solve, but talking to Miss Woodwise always makes my heart lighter no matter the topic. I am quite sure that she will be the next Ms. Poppins, for she has an amazing gift for making others happy with her Kind Spirit. I’m off to bed now for it is late, but though my room is chilly, I’ll be filled with the warmth of Friendship so I’m sure to sleep well.

Morewit Returns (Again)

Well dear Friends! As is now unfortunately common, I have neglected these pages for some time, and I’m afraid I have fallen quite behind on my News. There have been a number of changes since I last wrote, which I shall attempt to address in quick order. First and Foremost, having finally reached the close of my College years, I have emerged into society as an Adult - a terrifying word, to be sure! I must admit that I feel no more grown than I did a year ago, but the World sees me now as a woman, so a Woman I must be. For the moment I am happy to take a small respite from this title and instead be Daughter in the company of my beloved family. I am so happy to be at the Manor again, in my own dear bed, in my own dear room; there really is no place I feel so at ease or cherish so greatly.

Also of note is the fact that I have again become a Lady Unattached. I know not how to speak properly of it, for while it was an amiable separation for the most part, there is no small sorrow in losing the strong bond forged by Affection. Still, I do feel that it was all for the best, as once I left for the Towers we quarreled more and more, and found our differences greater than our similarities. I came to realize that while dear Corsair was all enthusiasm and charm he lacked the kind, considerate nature one hopes to find in a suitor. I found that I could not rely on him for strength and rather bore the weight and trials of our relationship for both of us, a fact I could not ignore. I've always thought myself more a Woman Liberated than a Woman of Tradition, but it seems that when it comes to courting I prefer a more old-fashioned Gentleman with the virtues of strength and gentleness.

Still, while I wait for my gallant white knight I shall not be sitting idly by. It is a truth universally acknowledged - that a single woman in possession of (no) fortune, must be in want of – employment. For in our modern society, a proper wage is a must for men and ladies alike, especially when The Cost of an Education is so very large. On this front at least I can offer you good news as I am now a Lady Employed! The position itself is not one of glamour perhaps, but at this moment, I am sure it is the most ideal for my mind, body, and spirit.
As to what my Title and Duties may be, I am afraid I shall be leaving those of you who do not know already in some small suspense until Tomorrow as I must set aside my writings for now. However, I do promise that to make up for the wait I shall provide plenty of details and thoughts on my future for your Amusement, so never fear.

Yours,
The (Adult-ish) Miss Morewit
