Return To Vienna

I was surprised when my wife told me that it had been seven years since we last visited Vienna, how time flies! On that occasion, however, we barely spent any time in Vienna because the purpose of our trip was to explore Styria, the bread basket of Austria, and visit Zotter Chocolate and other wonderful foodie destinations. We enjoyed our visit to Austria so much that my wife and I returned to…

The Future

This video excerpt comes from the 100th Episode Special - originally aired in 2002 as a countdown to the show's 100th episode (S4xE24 "That Musical Episode"). The cast contemplates the characters' futures.

Fez

Wilmer wants Fez to become a man/lose his virginity, and some of the others jokingly predict he'll become a ladies' man.

Check. Fez loses his virginity in season 6 of the show, and grows more suave and confident with the ladies in season 7 and 8 (and in That '90s Show, too). He ends up running his own hair salon/being a small business owner, not a dance instructor or an alien (*lol*).

Kelso

Debra Jo predicts he'll get the highest score on the SAT's and get into Harvard - Ashton echoes this guess that he ends up being a secret genius.

Check. In S5xE10 "The Crunge", the gang gets their SAT scores back and Kelso's is the highest. We don't know what his career is in That '90s Show - if he stuck with becoming a cop, or if he ended up pursuing something else.

Jackie

Mila predicts she will be captain of the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders - at least, this was her wish in high school (among others). Wilmer sees her owning a beauty salon (Oh the irony... Chez Fez *lol*) or a shopping mall.

Unchecked. We don't know much about how Jackie's future ended up, but she's not in Dallas. She's in Point Place with Michael and their son Jay. Her career is also a total question mark in That '90s Show - did she stick with TV, the direction she was heading in seasons 7 and 8, or pivot to something else?

Hyde

The cast jokingly suggests that Hyde starts working for the government or becomes a spy for the CIA in adulthood - the very antithesis of what he'd stood for in his youth. The irony would be funny.

Unchecked. As the show ends, Hyde is single and W.B. has just given him the full reins to Grooves record store. Where he went from there is unclear. His fate in the '90s is unknown (maybe he is off working for the Man, man).

Red and Kitty

Debra Jo predicts that 25 years later, Red and Kitty would be sitting on a cloud somewhere together (and that Kitty's finally thin, and Red has a cocktail 🤣).

Check, maybe? 25 years after the show ends would be 2005, and Red and Kitty could be dead at that point. But we get to see that ten years before that, in 1995, they're enjoying life with their granddaughter!

Donna

Laura predicts Donna will be running for president or owning her own company. Wilmer pictures her traveling and exploring her independence.

Unchecked. In the finale Donna is single and finally heading off to college, but appears to reunite with Eric on the driveway when he returns. In 1995 she and Eric are married and have a teenage daughter, and Donna's a published writer (I think Laura would approve of this career for her, too, so I'm tempted to give a half-point *lol*). They live in Chicago.

Eric

Debra Jo thinks he's going to be a sensitive artist. Laura mentions that Eric wants to stay here and raise a family. Topher and Debra Jo both want Eric and Donna to get back together.

Check and unchecked. No on the sensitive artist (*lol*) - Eric decides that he wants to become a teacher at the end of season 7 and goes to Africa to pursue this. In That '90s Show he's a professor and he teaches a course about the religion of Star Wars. He and Donna do get back together and they do raise a family together, though in Chicago, not Point Place.

Lady Jane Grey (1537-1554)

Si vous suivez l’actualité des séries, vous aurez vu passer les news sur la série My Lady Jane, adaptation du roman éponyme de Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton et Cynthia Hand. Mais la vraie Jane Grey a eu un destin plus tragique : on ne l’appelle pas pour rien « La reine des neuf jours »

Ou celle qui n’a régné que neuf jours sur l’Angleterre.

Si je vous demande de me donner des noms de monarques sous la dynastie des Tudors, vous allez me dire Henry VIII et Elizabeth I. Les plus historiophiles me diront : Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VII, Mary I et Elizabeth I.

Vous en avez oublié un.

Vous avez oublié Lady Jane Grey.

Figure relativement connue en Angleterre, inconnue au bataillon en France, l’histoire de Jane est une véritable tragédie shakespearienne.

Jane est le premier enfant et la première fille de Henry Grey, Duc de Suffolk (1517-1554) et de Lady Frances Brandon (1517-1559).

Elle descend de la vieille noblesse anglaise par son père.

Sa mère, quant à elle, est la fille de Charles Brandon (C. 1484-1545) qui a été un ami proche d’Henry VIII (1491-1547) et de Marie Tudor (1496-1533), la sœur d’Henry, laquelle mériterait elle aussi son petit article.

Notre Jane est donc une petite-nièce du roi d’Angleterre et une cousine des futurs Edward VI, Mary I et Elizabeth I.

Elle naît vers 1537 à Bradgate, non loin de Leicester.

Jane s’avère être une enfant précoce, scolaire, qui aime les études. Elle est élevée dans la foi protestante. Vers ses 10 ans, elle est confiée à la reine Catherine Parr (1512-1548), la veuve d’Henry VIII, laquelle s’occupe déjà de l’éducation de sa belle fille, la future Elizabeth I (1533-1603), pour laquelle elle a une profonde affection.

L’enfance de Jane n’est guère heureuse : sa mère est une mère abusive et maltraitante. Elle l’insulte, la rabaisse, la frappe, pensant ainsi l’endurcir car sa fille, de nature timide et soumise, l’irrite. Ainsi, malgré ses capacités, la jeune fille se croit idiote et surtout indigne de ses parents, comme elle le confiera à Roger Ascham (1515-1568), le précepteur qu’elle partage avec Elizabeth :

« Quand je me trouve en présence de mon père ou de ma mère, si je parle, me tais, m’assois, suis debout, pars, mange, bois, me réjouis ou m’attriste, couds, joue, danse, fais n’importe quelle chose, il faut que je l’entreprenne comme si la tâche était d’une importance infinie et que je l’achève à la perfection avec laquelle Dieu a créé le monde ; sinon, ils me raillent sans merci, ils me menacent cruellement, parfois par la force… pour que je me croie être en enfer. »

Sous l’égide de Catherine Parr, Jane est plus heureuse et reçoit enfin l’affection dont elle a tant besoin.

Hélas, ces jours heureux ne durent pas et un an après son entrée dans la maison de Catherine, Jane doit lui dire adieu : en effet, la reine douairière, qui s’était remariée à Thomas Seymour, l’oncle d’Edward VII, meurt en mettant au monde son première enfant, une petite Mary, dont on perd la trace après sa deuxième année de vie. Agée de 11 ans, Jane sera le « chief mourner » lors des funérailles : c’est elle qui veillera le corps. Thomas, lui, sera arrêté et exécuté pour trahison.

Jane rentre donc à Bradgate pour y poursuivre sa vie.

On commence à envisager son mariage : Thomas Seymour, du temps où il vivait encore, avait suggéré qu’elle épouse son neveu ! Il semble l’avoir tenue en haute estime : lui proposer la main du roi, dire qu’elle pouvait rester chez lui après le décès de Catherine, ce qui a été annulé suite à son arrestation…

Jane, elle, aimerait bien épouser Edward Seymour (1539-1621), le neveu de Thomas, ce qui ne se fera pas et l’homme épousera, plus tard… Catherine, la plus jeune sœur de Jane !

Frances, la mère de Jane, décide de lui faire épouser Guilford Dudley (1535-1554), pour le plus grand effroi de sa fille qui déteste cette famille. Une bonne petite rouste et le mariage est célébré le 25 mai 1553.

Sinon, au gouvernement, on se pisse dessus : Edward, le jeune roi, est à l’agonie, rongé par la tuberculose. Il n’est pas marié, il n’a pas d’enfants et selon l’acte de succession instauré par son père, s’il meut sans héritier, la couronne revient à l’aîné de ses sœurs : Mary (1516-1558).

Le souci, c’est que Mary est… catholique !

Pour vous la faire courte parce que l’histoire religieuse sous Henry VIII est un bordel !

Quand Henry VIII accède au trône à 18 ans, l’Angleterre est catholique. Henry est pieux, il défend la foi chrétienne, il rédige des écrits contre l’hérésie, tant est si bien que le pape le considère comme défenseur de la Foi, ce qui est un titre qui pète sa mère quand vous êtes croyant.

Henry est marié à Catherine d’Aragon (1485-1536), la veuve de son frère Arthur, et contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait penser, Henry ne l’épouse pas tant pour conserver l’alliance entre son pays et les royaumes de Castille et d’Aragon mais parce qu’il est sincèrement amoureux ! Le problème, c’est que des six grossesses qu’ils ont, seuls deux enfants sont nés : le petit Henry, mort à 52 jours de vie et Mary.

Ce qui fait qu’Henry n’a pas d’héritier mâle alors qu’il est la deuxième génération des Tudor, son père ayant gagné la couronne lors de la guerre des Deux Roses qui a mis fin au conflit entre les Lancastre et les York. (Je vous la fais courte, ça aussi, c’est un bordel!). Ca la fout mal.

Selon la Bible, on n’a pas le droit d’épouser la veuve de son frère, sinon on est condamné à ne pas avoir d’enfants. Sauf si le mariage n’a pas été consommé : là, le frère doit prendre sa belle-sœur pour femme. Catherine soutient et soutiendra jusqu’à sa mort qu’elle est arrivée vierge dans les bras d’Henry.

Sauf que pour Henry, l’absence d’enfant, il la traduit par l’absence de fils vivant, surtout que la belle Anne Boleyn (c.1501-1536) commence à lui faire de l’oeil et contrairement à sa sœur Mary Boleyn (C.1499-1543) qui a été la maîtresse du roi, elle refuse de coucher avec lui et de n’être qu’une maîtresse. La bague au doigt sinon rien !

Henry cherche donc à faire annuler son mariage, le Pape refuse (il kiffe Catherine et il n’a pas envie de se mettre son neveu, Charles Quint (excusez du peu), à dos). Du coup, Henry dit au Pape d’aller se faire voir chez les grecs, il fonde sa propre église : l’Anglicanisme, qui est un mélange entre le catholiscime et le protestantisme, dit qu’il est le chef de l’Église dans son pays, il fait annuler son mariage, il épouse Anne qui lui donne Elisabeth, avant de la faire exécuter le 19 mai 1536 pour épouser, dix jours plus tard, Jane Seymour (c.1508-1537) qui lui donnera enfin le garçon tant espéré : Edward.

Sauf que pour annuler les mariages, il a fallu reconnaître qu’ils n’étaient pas légaux, donc dire que ses deux filles étaient des bâtardes.

Vers la fin de sa vie, en signe de réconciliation, Henry crée l’acte de succession, mettant ses filles dans la lignée, si et seulement si leur frère n’a pas d’héritier légitime.

Ca va, vous suivez toujours ?

Du coup, on est en juin 1553, Edward est en train de mourir, il n’a pas d’enfants et si Mary prend le trône, elle qui est une catholique convaincue, elle va tout faire pour remettre l’Angleterre dans le giron de Rome et forcément, le gouvernement ne veut pas ça.

Edward, élevé en protestant, malgré l’amour qu’il a pour sa sœur (et marraine!) ne le veut pas non plus.

Pensant donc protéger son pays, il décrète que c’est sa cousine Jane Grey qui est son héritière puisque ses deux sœurs, Mary et Elizabeth, sont des bâtardes.

Oui, encore une fois.

Le 06 juillet 1553, Edward meurt et le beau-père de Jane, John Dudley : le duc de Nothumberland, la proclame reine. Si Jane l’accepte, elle semble le faire avec énormément de réticence. Elle élit domicile à la Tour de Londres et refuse que l’on appelle son mari « le roi ». Il sera duc de Clarence, c’est déjà pas mal.

Evidemment, Mary n’accepte pas la situation, rallie rapidement ses partisans et aux côtés d’Elizabeth, elle marche sur Londres pour récupérer son trône.

Oui, on dirait un épisode d’House of the Dragon ou de Game of Thrones, c’est normal, George R.R Martin s’est énormément inspiré de cette période de l’Histoire pour écrire son banger qu’est « A Song of Ice and Fire », les livres qui ont crée cet univers.

Malgré ses tentatives, le duc de Nothumberland ne parvient pas à consolider le pouvoir de Jane et neuf jours après son accession au trône, la voilà déchue : les partisans de Mary ont réussi à la priver de ses droits le 19 juillet 1553, soit 9 jours après son arrivée sur le trône d’Angleterre puisqu’on ne lui a annoncé tout cela que le 10 juillet.

Mary est à Londres le 03 août et elle reprend sans efforts ce qu’elle considère être son droit.

Le 12 novembre 1553, un procès a lieu et Jane est reconnue coupable de haute trahison et condamnée à mourir « brûlée vive ou décapitée, selon le bon plaisir de la reine ». L’ambassadeur d’Espagne rapporte à Charles Quint, cousin de Mary, que sa vie devrait être épargnée. Jane écrit à Mary, s’excuse pour le mal qui lui a été causé, lui relate la vérité des événements. Dans cette lettre, elle se décrit comme une femme aimant son époux. D’ailleurs, Guilford, dans sa cellule, a gravé le prénom de Jane. Est-ce pour elle ou en hommage à sa mère, seul lui le savait.

A la surprise générale, Mary se montre étonnamment bienveillante : elle refuse de punir Jane ! Elle a bien compris que cette pauvre adolescente de 16 ans n’a été qu’un pion sur l’échiquier politique des plus grands. Si elle la garde enfermée, elle refuse de faire exécuter la jeune fille.

Hélas pour Jane, les conseillers de Mary la pressent : son choix est beau, il est noble mais Jane demeure, malgré elle, un point de ralliement pour les protestants. De plus, la rébellion de Sir Thomas Wyatt en 1554 précipite la fin de Jane : Thomas Wyatt voulait renverser Mary, catholique, pour mettre sa sœur Elizabeth sur le trône car protestante. Lors de son exécution, Wyatt démentira la participation de la princesse dans ce complot.

La mort dans l’âme, Mary doit se résoudre à signer les arrêts de mort de Jane et de Guilford.

Le 12 février 1554, Guilford est décapité à la hache. On dit qu’il a fait face à son destin avec courage. De sa fenêtre, Jane aurait murmuré : « Oh, Guilford, Guilford ! ».

Le même jour, Jane monte sur l’échafaud.

Mary demande à ce que l’exécution ait lieu à Tower Green, une pelouse de la Tour de Londres, loin des yeux curieux, afin qu’elle soit exécutée en petit comité, un honneur généralement réservé aux personnes de sang royal.

Jane prononce ces quelques mots :

« Gens de bien, je viens ici pour mourir, condamnée par la loi au même lot. L’acte contre la majesté était illégitime, comme ma participation : mais ce jour, pour autant que je l’aie désiré et en aie ambitionné l’achèvement, j’en lave les mains, devant Dieu et devant vous, bons chrétiens. »

Elle récite ensuite Miserere mei Deus (psaume 50) en anglais. John Feckenham, un chapelain catholique, lequel n’a pas pu la convertir à la foi de la reine, reste à ses côtés.

C’est elle qui s’agenouille, qui se bande les yeux mais alors qu’elle cherche, en vain, le billot du bout des doigts, elle panique : elle craint de mourir sans dignité et s’exclame « Que dois-je faire ? Où est-il ? ». Une âme charitable mène son bras et le bourreau l’exécute sans heurt.

Jane et Guilford reposent en paix, côte à côte, dans la chapelle de Saint Peter ad Vincula.

Le père de Jane, Henry, est exécuté onze jours plus tard, le 23 février 1554.

Frances, sa mère, vivra dans la pauvreté sous le règne de Mary. La reine se montre magnanime, même si elle reste méfiante, la laisse vivre à Richmond et engage à son service ses deux filles survivantes, Mary et Catherine, comme dames d’honneur.

Le père et les frères de Guilford demeureront emprisonnés mais Mary leur pardonnera. Robert, l’un des frères de Guilford, sera libéré et sera le grand ami (voire le grand amour) d’Elizabeth I.

Jane, quant à elle, survit dans les mémoires surtout grâce à la série My Lady Jane qui vient de sortir et avec le film Lady Jane de 1986 où son rôle est tenu par nulle autre qu’Helaena Boham Carter.

quebec city

Check out my latest blogpost on our magical trip to Quebec City! Please explore this incredible area of Canada, if you haven't already!

Bonsoir! I had no idea how much I would LOVE Quebec City. The architecture, the old city streets, the Nordic spas, the friendly people and the food, my goodness, the food. Ian and I wanted to book a romantic trip for just the two of us and decided on a domestic, quick flight vacation because of the additional stress surrounding everything pandemic-related with travelling, and the risk of getting…

2, 14, 18 for the ask game!

2′s already been answered!

14. On the flipside, what environments would make your kintype on edge? Do any of your fears now connect to things experienced/feared by your kintypes?

I went to Montreal once. In February. Everything looked so dead and... industrial revolution? It didn’t look like a city that had any life in it. All dead trees and slush and old brick. “Look how beautiful the city is from this tower!” how about no, thank you, I want to go back to where things are green and lively, why did we stop here and not at Chez Ashton.

I can handle storebought apple pie. Homemade? Nooooo thank you. I also don’t do well with hostels where you get one bed and one table and there’s like eight other beds in the same room. Reminds me too much of Lunaca.

18. How did you first discover the otherkin community?

Kinda already answered, but through my first girlfriend and then tumblr. I started looking around, found Page and Poppy if I remember correctly, and just kind of followed them around until I found others.

They’ll both be all “nooooo I’m not a greymuzzle” but they were smart and there when I was starting out, so that makes ‘em greymuzzles to me.

8 35/..

3

Fahrenheit 11˚ at 8 3/4 – read a few pp. Captain Hall’s America – Madame Contart’s woman came about black Chantilly veils for Mrs James Dalton – breakfast at 10 1/2 in 25 minutes – wrote civil little note to Miss Poore Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, 35 ‘to ask her to lend me one of her silver earrings for a couple of hours that I might get a pair like them for Isabella Norcliffe hoped to hear better accounts of Miss Poore – 

Off at 11 1/2 – left fan to be mended at Privat’s got to Captain Basil Hall’s about 11 3/4 – sent away the carriage ordered it to be back in 1 1/4 hour – Captain Hall immediately arranged the camera lucida – at 1st seemed as if I could manage tolerably but afterwards could never once see both object and pencil at the same time, and could do nothing – it was a difficulty Captain Hall had never met with before and therefore could not help me – 

I repented having sent away the carriage I saw they wanted to write etc. I looked at the pendule said I expected the carriage soon oh said Mr Hall you are very welcome to stay here in fact I am glad enough to get anything out of them I find them rather too second rate for me they all gaping after getting into society and I doubt whether they can succeed as they wish – I will not go to the ball with them

On leaving the Halls about 1 1/2 (while there George took my note to Miss Poore – see line 2 of today) found in the carriage very civil note that George had brought back from Lady Poore to say that as Miss Poore was out she Lady Poore had opened my note that Miss Poore was quite well – it was she Lady Poore who was the invalid, ‘but I should have been most happy to see you yesterday but the servants are so tiresome and I cannot get them to discriminate between a lady friend and a young Dandy – I have no doubt but Nora will call on you between 2 and 3’ …… 

On this drive to the Poore’s – at home – all very civil – Sir Edward and Lady Poore and a young man, apparently very intimate with them all – found Miss Poore just sending off a very nice note which I brought away to say she was sorry she could not call today having appointed to take a young French girl home at that hour to the other side of the water rue Vaugirard, but had sent me the earring – It seems she called on me last tuesday ‘and we really see no more of each other, than if you were not in Paris’ – 

Had the veils brought up – we all agreed to like the plain one best, but that the one ouvragé at 192/. would be best to send Mrs James Dalton – Mrs Ashton (and Miss Ashton?) who spoke to me last Thursday at the embassy came in – not introduced – sat about 20 minutes and then (about 2 10/60) called on Mrs Hamilton – at home – confined to the house with a bad cold – sat talking very cozily – not to be a bal costumé or masqué – and not a thing de [rigeur] to go – 

Lady Stuart de Rothesay had nothing to do with it as having nothing to do with the English – would have me go in in white but yes! I might go in black – if I did not dress handsomely, no! but I wore so much handsome blonde which made it dress – had a very pretty gown – made it out it must be my mock blonde ball dress – said I always wore black – had done so for many many years – the royal family to be there – and the kings and the duke of Orleans’s servants to wait – said I should give myself no further trouble – if anybody found fault with my black, I should say I had high authority for it – had the veils brought up, and agreed to send the ouvragé one – then speaking of the great fuss about getting invited to the embassy as a passport to French society which few get into after all – a Mrs Fitzwilliam received the most French (she had nothing very attractive about her) but she was one of those who had determined upon it, and somehow these people succeeded – did I know the Halls? they too had got into a good deal of French society, but he was one of those determined people – 

and let nothing stop him and was sometimes troublesome asked people to introduce him to others who were present and had no means of refusing this was bad taste asked if they knew much of Lord Lady Stuart she said he had know the latter before when on his return from loochoo he was a sort of lion 

Speaking of Captain Hall’s America, Mrs Hamilton was a year in Canada – many of Captain Hall’s opinions very good – but a pity he had let there be so many trivialities in his book – but he was vain – though certainly clever, he did not shew it by putting many of the little things in his book which appeared there – 

It seems he is too pushing – 

Spoke of the camera lucida – Mrs Hamilton wanted to see the principle of it – held it up – promised to give her all the instructions I got myself – sat about an hour with Mrs Hamilton and then drove to the embassy – never dreamt of being admitted – found the 2 Misses Bury there on their lesson – going away – stood some time talking to 1st one then the other of them – till came Madame de Noailles, and we all stood till the Misses Bury went and I offered to go too, but Lady Stuart would not let me – by and by made another attempt but Lady Stuart said she had not seen me of a long time and I must not go – so staid, though at last uncomfortably enough for Madame de Noailles whispered and had evidently something to say she did not wish me to hear – however [stayed] her out and Lady Stuart uncomfortably civil and kind and literally kept me talking till my visit lasted just 2 hours – talked over old Lady Stuart the charity ball Madame de Flahaut, reclamations i.e. fuss about getting invited to the embassy parties – on receiving Lady Buckinghamshire etc. etc. 

Mentioned my fear at Brussels of Lady Stuart’s head having an apoplectic her eating too much the strong cordials drams doctor maton gave her I said she was evidently breaking now I knew she wished Lady Stuart de Rothesay to receive Lady Buckinghamshire Lady Stuart de Rothesay’s reasons against it I said I quite agreed with her but knew Lady Stuart’s wish agreed with Lady Stuart de Rothesay there was no parallel between her and Lady Rancliffe the latter had always kept the support of some good female society and was now supported by her husbands family Madame de Polignac etc. this was not so with the other whom Lady Stuart de Rothesay must bring out as it were entirely I agreed to all Lady Stuart de Rothesay said complimented her and Lord Stuart delicately on the manner in which all was conducted on their popularity etc. etc. all which seemed to go down well – 

Some hint at a ball for the English poor – said I really wished to ask Lady Stuart de Rothesay what she had done – I had done nothing as yet, and should be happy to be called on by her in any way she liked – had she had any tickets to get rid of for this French charity ball should certainly have had my name on her list etc. etc. at last, talking of invitations made a civil speech about being invited so often – hearing that there are about 300 people connected with the diplomacy and about 200 the Stuarts wish to invite and then come all the rest who must be ménagés as well as they can – complimented Lady Stuart on her management – just hinted about sending the invitations per petite poste – good reasons against this for the only invitation lately some sent had failed (been missent)? and mistakes seldom really occurred at present, but there might be instances where it might be convenient for mistakes to be supposed – then a few words on Mrs Lisle Follet (who was first Lisle Pawlet) 

But Follet was not the man for whom she left her husband Pawlet and then said but Lady Aldcorough was the person the French wondered most to see received yes but said Lady Stuart de Rothesay she was never touched by the law and she had wordly wisdom never asked to be introduced to anyone I alluded to her folly in being so unguarded in conversation what about her grand daughter no that was natural it was about as to never having had her wishes satisfied and what might probably do it explained no further said some husbands were more communicative at home than others and some ladies said much to their particular friends or I could not have heard what was much too bad to repeat but said I had named it too Lady Stuart it was now five and a quarter and I came away 

Left Lady Stuart de Rothesay at about 5 1/4 – knew Mrs Hamilton was expecting her – the carriage was at the door – yet she had certainly kept me – why? surely she did not find me very disagreeable – then to Michel’s for biscuits – then to the Palais Royal ordered 4 dozen large buttons and 2 ditto small chez Maurisset – bought silver earrings for Isabella Norcliffe chez Chauffert no. 65 Palais Royal – then went to Madame Contart’s – left the carton of black lace veils – bought one chosen and got ho[me] at 6 1/4 – 

Dressed – dinner at 7 1/4 – came to my room at 8 1/4 – wrote another note to ‘Miss Poore’ with her earrings and the pair I bought for Isabella Norcliffe for Miss Poore to look at – read my letter from Mariana London, Friday 29 January – the 2 first pp. filled by Mrs Miller ([cidevent] Eliza Raine written at Leamington 19 ultimo) really very proper good letter – better than I expected from Eliza – I smiled at the following ‘I will add that I think matrimony a very comfortable sort of state, not withstanding that there are so many queer things attending it’ !!! 

Mariana wrote the last page and the ends and under the seal, and crosses the 1st page and 6 lines of crossing on the 2nd – went to town in an open carriage to the cold and hurry laid her up in a bilious attack, then she had toothache – then Charles had a bilious attack, and she had to nurse him – had called but not seen Miss Maclean who goes out at 12 and does not return till 5 – a pretty fair spell with Mr Long and his doctoring –

‘The letters amuse, instruct, and interest my best feelings, I know not what I should do without them – they seem all now that connects me with the world, for even at Leamington I see little more than I do at Lawton’ - …. I often think upon and anticipate with no common feeling the hope of being able to visit Paris for 2 or 3 months some of these days – if Charles could get to move about pretty comfortably I might manage this, but though the thought pleases and keeps me alive, yet it is too much of a chance to be allowed to interfere for an instant with your plans in fact were Charles well enough for me to go, the time could easily be made to suit you, for to me all times and seasons are alike, and even were it otherwise I should be well prepared for any disappointment on my part which was balanced by a gain on yours therefore never let me cross your thoughts to interfere with your wishes let me be a comfort to you when I can, when this ceases think of me no more. You do indeed seem gay, and it appears you [need] lack acquaintances if so it pleases you to make them Miss Prevost would not have suited you at all. She is too ‘little worldly’ - ‘I knew not that this was Miss Maclean’s failing, it amuses me to read you can think anybody too little so, Fred, there was a time when you thought some people too much so, but I still contend this was never the case’ – 

Coffee at 9 1/4 – came to my room at 10 1/2 – talked to my aunt of Mariana’s letter – thought it might answer and perhaps be probable to have Miss McKenzie next winter – Fine, hard frosty very cold day – Fahrenheit 11˚ at 8 3/4 a.m. - 16˚ at 11 1/2 a.m. 16˚ at 9 1/4 p.m. and 15˚ at midnight – 

Came to my room at 10 1/2 and wrote all the above of today which with hair curling took me till 12 1/2 – By the way George brought back the earrings (sent at 8 3/4 to Miss Poore) with a little note to say she admired them very much – ditto Sir Edward who seems to be thought a first rate judge – wrote 2 pp. to Mariana till 2 –
