I am still getting used to the modern fashions, but these dresses are cooler than my dresses from home here, though it is still uncomfortably warm. I don't mind school, I suppose. It's different from what Ma taught me. The numbers portion in particular seems to have gotten more complex.

I like getting to learn new music, however. It's different from what I usually play at the house, but it's nice all the same.

Mycroft is still in a spell-induced sleep in one of my guest bedrooms over a week after the ball. Having no experience with faeries, how long might we expect these spells to last? Has anyone found anything other than time and patience that might break it?

I hate to ask you this on Labor Day, but I really need your help. The Rodriguez case that Harvey's been working on goes on trial tomorrow morning, and there's no way it can schedule at such short notice.

You know. Try a different mascot, take classes when the sun's out, get a diploma I can stick on a wall instead of an old, singed costume in a case.

FILTERED TO MATT MURDOCK AND HARVEY SPECTER
Good day, gentlemen.

My name is Lady Mary Crawley. I recently spoke to Mr. Specter about his need of a secretary for your new law firm. He recommended that we all speak together, since I will need Mr. Murdock's approval as well, of course.

I admit that I have never done secretarial work. To be upfront, I am from 1924 originally and my father is the Earl of Grantham. Ladies of my class were not secretaries. I'm still not thrilled at Be that as it may, I think that I would be well suited to this position. Back home, I ran my family's estate. It required being quite organized and paying attention to detail. I think those skills would help me. I'm also getting better with my typing, though I would be willing to take a typing course, if you gentlemen would prefer.

I don't wish to assume anything, but if you would like to have me come in for a formal interview to see if I would be a good fit for your firm, I would be happy to. Or, I can answer any questions that you might have over this device.


ADDED LATER: FILTERED TO MYCROFT

Last week, when the world turned into a faerie land for a day, there was a faerie man who followed me about and expressed his undying love for me. He simply wouldn't take no for an answer. It was flattering at first but then grew a bit irritating. Take note men, following a woman about is not a way to get them to love you.

Apparently I should have taken him up on his offer. He was actually quite handsome. I wonder what faerie men are like in bed.

I intended to inform everyone sooner but with the end of term and the Senior Class trip, once again, this got away from me. Still, we have time.

James, Lily Luna and I will be taking a family trip with Credence, Luna and Helena to Florida next month. I was gifted a trip from the portal back during the winter holidays and we are just now able to take advantage of it. Should anyone like to also venture to the Sunshine State, and the Walt Disney resorts, while we are in attendance, we would be more than glad to spend some time with you during our trip. We will be there from July 8th to the 14th. I've attached our itinerary [here].

I see congratulations are in order for forming your own country. It is a terrible shame that I should arrive here in the New World along with Mrs. Quigley's home, but no Mrs. Quigley to speak of, nor anyone else who previously resided there. It is a fine and most reputable house, visited often by those with of discerning tastes. Now there only vacancies to be filled. Whatever am I to do?

There is still plenty of wine to drink, the vintage most agreeable in my time, though I suspect might be a curiosity in yours. It would be absolutely wicked of me to indulge without offering. Therefore I have no choice but to cordially invite all of you to my home on the Eve of the Thirteenth, which I find appropriate given my circumstances, at [address].

If you are a gambler, I would be most honored to host you at my table.

Please come in your most fashionable. I am curious to see more of what people are wearing these days. I still have much to learn of your world and am grateful for the company.

May I be among those to express my delight at last weekend's ball. It had to be one of the most enjoyable evenings I've had since my arrival through the portal. The catering was marvelous, and in particular the pastries. They were of interest to me because recently I've come across the BBC program, The Great British Baking Show, and I can't get enough! Most of the items I already know how to bake - bread, Victoria sponges, self saucing puddings, even fancy preparations such as Mille-Feuille, but there are a lot of new techniques that are exciting. Since the portal brought over all my baking equipment and supplies, I've considered taking a course.

[Private to Those Who Played Bridge With Edwin at the Ball]
Would any of you be at all interested in getting together on a regular basis for cards? In my experience, the amount of people around nowadays that know how to play bridge is few and far between, what to speak of those who even know what you're talking about. I'd love to host something.

Thanks to a gift from the portal, it looks like the plans for my clinic will be up and running sooner than expected, so it seems like a good time as any to put out a help wanted ad here.

In Vein Clinic will be opening in council 8 within the month of June. I'm looking for at least two more licensed physicians in family medicine, along with RNs, LPNs, and secretarial staff. I wanted to put this offer to those of us who are displaced first before looking elsewhere. While I do want our people to feel safe coming here for any treatment, I do want to let you know that the clinic will be open to all populations in the area.

That being said, if anyone would be willing to do magical wards of some kinds to our place and a designated room for some of us that have to hide our true identities, that would be much appreciated. I'd just like a list of people right now who I can reach out to when the clinic is completed next month.

It appears as though my gift has finally arrived: my horse from back home! I was so thrilled to receive the call from the base that she was here. I rode her home, though unfortunately my backyard here is not nearly as vast as it was back home and I've nowhere to keep her. There were a few people who mentioned owning or running ranches before. Would anyone be able to give me an estimate on how much it would cost to board a horse?

Have you seen that there is going to be another ball? I'm quite excited. Albus has asked me again.

I'm pleased to announce that my new business, Keepsakes has been launched. Currently, it is an online store, but should you be interested, you may make an arrangement with me to have a tour of our local warehouse. We sell items that were brought from Agrabah, Camelot, Arendelle, and Alola. Furniture, lamps, rugs, jewelry, chachkies. I've been aggressively promoting, and have already made a substantial sale to a business in Dallas. We have ambitions to to expand by investing profits into more items, and in the future, opening a storefront in Tumbleweed.

In addition to Keepsakes, I am offering my services as a piano tutor. For the past few months I've been given private lessons to Padmé Amidala, who has proven to be an excellent pupil. Interested parties may inquire herewith.

I suppose it was inevitable. Our Growlithe is now officially known as Skylar. It didn't matter that he looks like a canine. Helena's dead set on it and she's got him coming at the call of the name now.

She's asked if we can get a dog house. Of course, after asking for it, she promptly told me that he still needed to sleep inside. I think she wants the dog house more as a play house of her own than for him.

Some of you have found some rather cute species of these little creatures, but I've had no such luck. The first one I have appears to be some sort of grub. The second is an orangutan creature. I can't say I'm interested in keeping either of them. They're quite hideous, really. But if anyone happens to like animals of that sort or is trying to complete some sort of collection, do let me know. I might trade for anything that might be appropriate for a pet, or I might simply give them to you. Both of these will be released before we leave the island.
