Okiedokie, so I sort of skipped a year...but I'm only trying to get to the time where the Sign of Four occurs as quickly as possible! Bear with me, it's coming soon! Thanks again for even bothering with this, and please leave any constructive criticism or reviews you have for me!
4 May 1884
Heavens above, I have not written in this for quite a while.
Well, as I conjectured on this date last year, this morning, a parcel arrived bearing my name and the Forrester address. I took it to my room quickly and opened it to find yet another pearl, possibly being larger and more refined than the first two. It seems that each pearl is lovelier than its predecessor.
This business is beginning to put me at my wit's end. And what's worse is that Mrs. Forrester knows nothing of it. I have not breathed of this to a single person, and I feel horrified that such actions are being committed under my employer's roof. Dishonesty, lies, deceit…the amount of sins are continuously increasing.
Yet, I cannot make this problem her own. I will keep quiet about the entire situation…perhaps I shall be greeted next May 4th with another white lie.
