Re: Mina M/Vanessa I
Did I claim him good company and warmth? You must judge these things for yourself. And we are both lonely, you and I, in this big home that belongs to neither of us, and in this place where neither of us find companionship, seek it as we do.
He? He has naught to do with anything. Always so Catholic, dearest Vanessa. Do you never feel forsaken? Do you believe there is truly a man in the clouds who calls us all his children? No, dearest, better to put your faith in ballrooms and men with lovely mustaches.
I suppose I shall open a door and venture out. Shocking, isn't it? I find I like to shock. I do it without intending, you see. A walk outside, and the whispers begin, and I might as well give them all cause for the moving of their lips behind their fans.
Succeeded? Will he come? Have you issued him an invitation?
