Sir, I hope your dreams carried you through without trouble. Any news of Mina's condition?

[locked to mina m]

How fares the gossip? Was the gathering well-received?

[public, anonymous]

I am interested to speak to anyone who knows something of the dead who are not dead.

	You are no such thing, as you well know. I feel much the same, but I am surprised to hear it from you. Never again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps no longer. But, once, surely. No. That girl that longed for ballrooms is dead, dearest sister. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. Never. I do not know that marriage is always that way, marriage and ballrooms. Yet I have seen no evidence to the contrary. ~~or mother would not have~~ What do you long for now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps not for you, dearest Vanessa. Perhaps marriage would, for you, be an adventure. I do not know what I long for. I suspect I shall know, in time. To remember? Perhaps, memory is something I long for. To forget, and I believe that too is something to wish upon. For now, I will be the curious adventurer, and I shall go ahead.

How much is do you wish to remember? If you wish to forget as well, there must only be a limited number of days you pray to know of.

[...] Would you allow me to cast your fortune? In cards. I know it may seem a strange request, and I know how your Anglican heart inclines away from superstition. But one never knows where answers may lie.

I wait anxiously to hear of them, these adventures of yours ~~as I may no longer have a part in them~~.

I am not certain what I wish to remember. It is easier to know what one wishes to forget. Lists can be made as long as the arm, twirled off the desk like ribbons on a frock.

Your cards do not frighten me. Yes, you may. I have naught to hide.

Writing letters is the business of our sex. I can write you of the sights with little trouble, should you wish to hear of them. I am sure you will be dreadfully bored here, alone.

	Yes. Forgetting does seem more appealing, sweeter than honey from the rock, but the price. One wonders. They do not try to frighten you. They are, after all, only cards. I do have my methods of remaining occupied. I would, however, recieve any letter from you with enthusiasm. Report every detail. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She suck'd until her lips were sore, darling Vanessa?

I will meet your cards whenever they wish to meet with me. Perhaps over tea, or must this reading happen in darkness with candles flickering about us? I know your appreciation for the theatrical.

I've a friend to meet me. Hopefully there will be aught to report soon, perhaps a fortnight. I desire more time between dreams and traipsing.

	Indeed. We ought to investigate whether Miss Rossetti had her eye on you and I when she wrote her poem. We may be entitled to a portion of her royalties, as subjects. I think there can be tea and candles at once. Darkness won't be necessary, unless that disappoints you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That conversation is one best had in a bright sitting room, among spectators. Such a spectacle would be a shame to waste. I don't fear the dark, but I don't cherish it. We shall merely draw the drapery somewhat. (Reply to this) (Parent)
