The hour is late as I write this, but as promised, fingers to key and pen to paper Each Day. I spent my morning buried under mounds of clothing as it was Laundry Day for Master Fox and I, and it had been far too long since I had properly washed my wardrobe (and I fear 'tis overlarge). My efforts were rewarded of course, as I had a freshly laundered outfit to wear out on the town to see all our lovely friends! We took the automobile to Madame Makebrew's establishment and no sooner had we passed the threshold than a Most Torrential Rain began- an inauspicious beginning but you see our luck held well for we garnered not a drop while our friends, arriving later, did not fare so well. Miss Teatrola, Master and Miss H. Ţigan, and the Courting Pair (Master Merritop and dear Miss Indianna) made up Our Company, leaving us missing only one of our usual accomplices- the Very Dear Miss Woodwise (of course, being now Very Fine, the eldest Miss Ţigan is living in the City and is often missing from our gatherings). In any case, a great deal of Coffee and Catching-Up was passed about, as well as much bemoaning our lack of cards (not that we ever play at Gambling of course, our Cards are quite innocent). This was remedied when we all traveled over to the Teatrola Estate to enjoy a late supper of Sweets and Salts and play many card games. We also were able to pop over to the house where Miss Woodwise was hard as work looking after a large brood of children, and surprise her with a short visit. We left all festivities shortly after to return home, happy to see our our beds after a Long Day.
