Chapter 3



Dear Diary,

Dad got the job. He is now the groundskeeper for the Collinwood estate.That sounds so fancy! Anyway, we now have a house and since that house is on the Collins' property, I'll probably get to meet Mr. Gorgeous Collins. I found out his name today, when he called for dad. It's Quentin. Quentin Collins. It sounds like a rich, important name. Oh I hope he's not married, i can't wait to get him between the sheets! He only looks about 28 or so it's not like he's an old man or anything. He's tall, oh so tall, and handsome and strong and oooh! And his voice! Just the words "Hello may I speak to Robert Shagena please?" sent my heart pounding so fast, like, I thought I was gonna die! *sigh* I think I'm in luv! I don't even know him, but I will soon. and very well i hope. We're moving into the house today, not his house of course, that old house. I'll write all about it after I unpack my stuff when we get it out of storage. Ciao.



Dear Diary,



I can't believe this house! They only installed indoor plumbing and electricity a few years ago.Like how could people live without that in the what is this? 20th century? At least my room is big. It's still got all the furniture in it. The house came furnished, but I guess we'll put all this stuff into storage cos we brought our own stuff and some of this looks really uncomfortable. the bed in my room is nice though, and the dresser so maybe I'll keep those. The room also has this big painting over the fireplace of somebody. She was pretty. Not as pretty as moi of course, but pretty enough for her time i guess. There's a weird looking music box too. Like a glass cylander or something. The song is pretty but can get annoying after a while. I don't need it, so it'll go into storage too. We'd better take that portrait down as well. Maybe I'll paint the room a different colour, like purple. Sponge painting would be nice. Oh wait, we don't actually own the house so maybe it's not such a good idea. I'm off to explore the third floor and the basement now, I haven't seen those yet. Ciao.
