Dearest Maria,
Your party sounded simply lovely. I do hope you enjoyed yourself immensely
I found your letter fascinating. You shall be interested to learn that ever since I was small I have believed that writing is the true window to the soul; in writing, you can say what you would not dare to speak out loud, guarded by the sharp tip of your quill. In writing, everything is so much more elegant, so much more graceful, so much more- I shan't say meaningful but, I daresay- true, as you cannot stutter, cannot be interrupted. You've as many second chances as you would like, as many second chances as you need. My daydreams about my future wife used to envision her as a writer.
However, Father would be happy to learn that I've long since abandoned such an impossibilty.
Life as I know it is going on as expected, a funny incident here and there. None particularly remarkable, however. I hope all is well with your family. Give my regards to your father.
With great respect,
Hector DeSilva
Dearest Hector,
Yur letter was very funy, I enjoyed it very much.
I know yull be displeesed to lern that I hav not had a good week. On munday father made me return too scool even tho I told him fermlee I will be marrying shortly and it is simplee improper for an engaged lady to attend scool. like a common child. I've always depised atending scool. I don't understand wy I must tolrat the ridiculus notion that I must miggle with the lowar clas when I could be consentrationg my tyme on elegant social gathering of those on my level.
But Father says a proper lady is well skilled in all matters- including that of reeding writing and arthmetic. I want to be a proper lady, Hector, but I see no point in contining my edukashun when I've alredy lerned all I need.
I've thought this thru rather throughly, and wait ankshisly for your agreement.
Love,
Maria DeSilva
A/N: This is short. And disappointing, I know. I apologise.
