Eh, I don't think this chapter is that great, but here it is anyways. Enjoy...
April 9th
It is very early in the morning. I am still writing by candle light, seeing that the sun is barely up yet. I just couldn't sleep!
Gram and me will go to the train station this evening, just after supper. Grampa might come, seeing as this will probably be the last time I will ever see him, but I know he has a lot of work to do and I will not be disappointed if he doesn't join us.
I will take the train to South Hampton; I will be meeting Erik there. I am overwhelmed by joy, though I must say I am very apprehensive! I will be starting my life over new, from scratch, in America.
Gram told me that Erik lives in New York, and is engaged. How wonderful is that?! It's almost better than being able to go on this voyage! Erik is going to get married! I am just so happy for him! I always knew he would make a great life for himself, though not include me in it like he is! I better go. It is about 7, and Gram and me, before supper, are going around so I could take one last look at things. We will be going to the library, and my school and such to say goodbye.
Later
Me and Gram just got back. We went to the school, and the teachers all wished me goodbye, and told me to take care. A lot of the girls in my year were a little teary! Margie, my best and most loyal friend, hugged me; I promised to write her every other day telling her how America was. We finally left after wishing them a last and final goodbye, promising to write with tales of how wonderful America was, and assuring them I would miss the terribly. From there gram and I went down to the library. I love the library. I love the books, and the warmth it gives off. Almost everyday I would go, and just sit there and read books. I love reading.
"Hello Misses Dugan!" Dorothy, the librarian, said in her usual young, cheery voice. "I heard that you are going to America" She smiled at me, and than said "on the Titanic." She said 'Titanic' like it was some dream. Some magical place.
"Yes" I said sweetly. She smiled even brighter. Her and gram talked while I skimmed thru the book shelves. We came back home, and now I'm reading a book I picked from the library. Well, more like shuffling the pages. I can't really get into it seeing as I am just so excited!
More later. It is time for supper.
