June 21st. J writes to me every day, but still his father refuses to meet me. We have become secretly engaged and I wear my beautiful ring on a chain beneath my dress. I despair of his father relenting as I have neither social position nor fortune.
July 30th. There is much friction between J and his father and I am full of guilt at being the cause. But how can I give him up when I love him so?
Ella became so absorbed, reading of the love between her parents and the obstacles in their way, that time ceased to have meaning. How, with her motherâs position as governess coming to an end, the young couple decided to marry, Justin leasing a house in a small village many miles away, and Selina moving into lodgings for the necessary three weeks before the banns could be read.
December 30th. Our first Christmas together and while I originally decided to write in here in French because I knew that Mama would pry, now I bless the fact for I would not like others to read of my immodest thoughts. For I had never envisaged the marriage bed to be a place of such joy, such physical ecstasy. J and I are truly as one. I do love him so.
