This is late.. but so much was happening at the Manor that I didn't want to take the storyline off on a tangent.
Dru, why haven't you been checking emails, you have messages waiting
I'm studying, finals are this week, Mama, my friends understand that I have to concentrate on other things for a while
Well, you know Cora wrote to you, don't you?? And did you know she's been having some troubles?? I really think she could use a friend....
Miss Cora is in trouble?? Why didn't you tell me?? why didn't someone call me?? Is she all right, does she need me??
Perhaps you should take the time off to see how she is.. all work and no play.. and besides, your studies will still be there, your friend needs you NOW
[COLOR=blue]You are right, as usual, Mama, thank you for putting things in perspective for me...
Dear Miss Cora, Please take my most abject and grovelling apologies for my lack of communication recently, I have been studying for my final examinations towards my degree in Political Science. I thought it was important to me, but now that I find you have been unhappy and having troubles, I realise that my friends mean so much more than a piece of sheepskin.
I must have been a bit of a grouchy bear, even the children are leaving me alone lately, I miss them, their laughter and open-ness always cheered me up and often made me look at life differently. Children are so very very important in our lives, they help remind us why we do the things we do, for if not to create a future for them, why?? I shall invite them in when I am finished talking to you and we will spend the rest of the afternoon playing games together.
Miss Cora, I have just read of your turbulent times of the last few days, and I must admit that I am having a hard time knowing what I can say or do to make your life easier. I wish I lived closer so that I could put my arms around you and make the outside world go away for a while, someone as sweet as you deserves to have only the good things in life near her.
*Blush* I realise that what I just said could be taken in a different context, Miss Cora, and again I must apologise. I most certainly never meant anything improper by my offer. Mama says that sometimes I say things without thinking that people could take them the wrong way, I guess she's right. On my honour as a gentleman and a scholar, I want only to make your world happy.
I understand that you have been trying to find the meaning of love. Its an enigmatic thing, this Love that people seem so concerned with. I have seen it cause so much pain that it seems there is no recourse but to end one's life, so very very sad that Love could be interpreted that way.
But then, I look around and I see the joy and the happiness that Love can bring, there are two people in this house that are slowly coming to realise their love for each other, and it fills my heart with gladness to watch them, I wish you could see it Miss Cora, it would put such a smile on your pretty face.
I don't really understand Love myself either, at first I thought it was merely physical, and that because I could make other people feel good by making love to them, that I was doing the right thing, but like you, I found that was a hollow feeling, and it led only to bitterness. So I resolved to wait and study Love a bit more... not officially, because it doesn't seem to have much to do with Political Science *chortle*, but just to observe people who talk about Love and what they mean by it.
I found there are so many forms of Love, that it seems you can not divide your love up between certain things, instead Love appears to be something that you multiply to fit the need. Would you agree Miss Cora?? You are the first I have put this theory too, and I would be most interested in your thoughts.
Miss Cora, I am sure the house you live in is full of all sorts of Love, and I am just as certain that you are the object of the love of many of the people who live there, in the many different forms that Love can take. I am sure you are realising that the many forms of Love can co-exist and that it takes ALL of them to truly love someone.
Oh, Miss Cora, I read that you are to become a mother, I must offer my heartiest congratulations on this beautiful event. You are going to make a wonderful parent, the patience and kindness that you have shown will ensure that your child will be amongst the happiest ever. I think you will make the best mother ever...
Well..... there was one other I knew who would be a wonderful mother, and I had hopes.... but, she's gone now......................*sigh*
Best not to think of such things, is it Miss Cora?? Instead, let us talk of your circumstances. Have you been feeling very ill?? Mama says that ginger tea helped her immensely when she was ill. I do hope that you don't suffer like she does. It seems that the gods like to temper the joy of pregnancy with some awful symptoms, but Mama promises me it is worth every minute. I wish I could transfer some of the bad parts to me, so that someone as sweet as yourself would only experience the bloom and the glow of new life growing within you, what a wonderful feeling it must be, to create a miracle.
I changed books and started reading about healthy babies and mothers, and it seems to be VERY important that you eat well, I am sorry to say, no more cookies, but I am sure that in your case, perhaps one or two a day would be permissible. All things in moderation, I feel thats an important way to live life.
I also read where one must be careful around cats. Oh dear, I worry that Witten would create a problem, although I know he loves you far too much to ever do anything deliberately. Perhaps you should have a cat doctor give him a check so that you can all be absolutely positive?? I know that he adores you and would be heartbroken to be the cause of any problems.
Well Miss Cora, I am sure that you will have many other well wishers taking up your time, but I wanted to assure you, that I shall always be here to listen, to share, perhaps to advise if you feel the need. The friendship I have built with you is something that I value very deeply.
I remain, ever faithfully, your friend.
