Dear Diary,
I met Constable Crane again today after church. He is a nice reasonable man. Very handsome also. He's had a troubled past, from what I saw. The constable lost his faith at a young age after his mother was put in the Iron Maiden for disobeying the bible. How idiotic is that?
I saw his mother. She was in a horrible state. She had puncture wounds all over her and what was once probably a very beautiful dress was bloodstained and torn. It made me faint. When I came 'round, there was a crowd around me, and Crane was sitting right next to me! After that, Mr. Crane escorted me home. During the ride there, I told him I was a medium, a possible mistake, but I couldn't help it. I am not a very good liar. Also, I fell on him. I thought I was going to faint again, but I didn't, thank goodness.
Well, needless to say, I think I have a crush on the constable. I doubt I'll ever see him again though.
William has fallen on the stairwell. I must go tend to him.
Sincerely,
Catherine
