( If anything, she had been incredibly selfish not to discuss this sooner. )

Just given everything that has been going on the last few days, I can't help but wonder why emotions are so hard at times.

( Besides, they couldn’t leave unless they were engaged. )

I fear I have not much of a voice this morning, and I have quite the aching head.

Oh dear, I do think I had too much to drink last night. At first I thought I was just being forgetful but then by the third drink, I knew something was strange. And then it seemed rude to leave my cup full!

I have all the regrets.

Knowing well that she does not wish to be mentioned in such communiques, I am writing this here with full knowledge and agreement of Miss Bennet.

Prior to Saturday evening's ball, we had not made any plans to dance together in excess. Indeed, though I did pen my own name to Miss Bennet's dance card for the first two turns of the evening, I did not claim anything more than that. I was even witness to Mr Henry Crawford claiming a turn of his own, but by the time music had begun and couples taken their places, we once more found ourselves across from one another, quite without intending to be.

In one round, Miss Bennet and I both attempted to abstain from the dancing entirely, with each of us taking up separate places at the refreshment table. But, again, the same outcome was unintentionally achieved.

While this was most assuredly an unkind trick from our Hostess, I implore you all not to allow such events to color the reputation of Miss Bennet, who has certainly done nothing to earn any ill judgment.

As it appears we might be here for an indeterminate duration, and given that we shall be having another ball tomorrow, it seems like a good idea to utilize these journals to facilitate more positive interactions and get to know one another somewhat better than we can in the parlors or at dinner when there is only a limited number you can speak to at any one time. My suggestion is we all introduce ourselves and give a little information about who we are, such that people can feel more comfortable. Perhaps we can inquire more information of each person as you desire.

As it was my suggestion, I shall of course be first to take part.

My name is Mr. George Knightley, and my intimate friends simply call me Knightley, which you are welcome to do as you wish. I'm a gentleman and farmer, and as eldest son after my father's unfortunate passing, master of our family estate, Donwell Abbey. I have a younger brother, married before me with several children. I enjoy reading, music (I do enjoy singing and would love to duet), a good horse ride, picnics and enjoying the fruits of my labors. I especially love strawberries. I am not overly fond of large gatherings, though I'm trying my best with these balls and formal dinners. I'm not always an easy dancer, but I do try. I have a feeling I might be one of the older guests at the Park, but I feel I have a young spirit, even with the responsibilities of Donwell.

Please feel free as to inquire anything you wish about myself. I would love for you to introduce yourself as well. Perhaps this can make things less awkward.

( He was as bad at being right as he was at admitting when he was wrong. )

I wish to offer my sincerest apologies to Mr Tomley- and anyone else for whom I may have caused offense- with my disturbance during yesterday morning's church services.

I found myself wholly unable to speak for the remainder of the day, no matter how I tried. My voice is quite fine today, without a hint of rasp or injury. More strangeness, as Mr Crawford discovered most recently, it seems.

Who: Mr. George Knightley
What: worrying over conversations (and Emma)-Challenge, picnic
