I received today the most astounding note from Mama. I paste it here in my diary.

Daughter, Bravo!

You have excelled in the most important lesson I have put to you thus far; indeed, you have exceeded my expectations. Kraut is a fraud and a hypocrite. You have seen right through her and so quickly. Her arrogance is her shield for a weak character. But study her, for there will be many like her at Versailles. I have arranged for you to take card-playing and gambling lessons from her. She will not tell you how she cheats but it will soon become apparent. You shall then be able to detect these behaviors in others and ban them from your gaming table. Do you not find her wart most interesting?

Most sincerely, your affectionate mother, Maria Theresa of Habsburg, Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, wife of your beloved late father, Emperor Francis of Lorraine

Postscript: Your hand has improved immensely and your spelling is flawless!
