Miss Emilie Ashford

Oh the sadness I feel on this night, little book. Great Aunt Perdita has passed. I am all to pieces over it. Poppa is too, especially since she had made addresses to King George to make me the newest Duchess of Swainsbury, instead of himself, or my brother being made Duke. She inherited the title by decree as there were no direct male heirs at the time and she was the eldest of the last Dukes daughters. Then Poppa was born to her sister. By rights, I suppose the title should go to him but with the King's present mental state, I am sure he might have signed the papers Aunt Perdita asked him to. I do not know what to say or do in the house at the moment. Poppa flies into a fury at the mere sight of me, then brings me presents to make up for it. He knows I did not seek this out. He knows I have no wish to be titled. Regardless, I will be it seems. If Poppa gets the Duchy or if I get it, life around here will change. Poppa is counting all her money already. He knows he gets that, regardless of title, although I do know she stipulated I receive and additional 10,000 for my dowry. To think that will all go into Lord _______'s pocket.

Oh little book, I just want to live a happy life and have all I care for happy, as well.

I must speak to Gwendolyn about this. I must. She will know what to do. She is so good in these matters.

1. Why the shilling? Is it for luck? And if so, is Emilie superstitious?

2. What is the best sound in the world?

3. What is her favorite pasttime?

4. Emilie is very innocent, though she doesn't consider herself to be. Has this ever gotten her into throuble?

5. If Emilie was a color, what color would she be and why?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. She keeps it both for luck and practical purposes. She never knows when she will need it for hush money or more drink

2. The sound of her mother's footsteps

3. She loves to read and to go riding

4. She was attacked in a bad part of London just the other night... so far she has been able to escape injury by her sheer sweetness but that is most likely going to change as she delves deeper in to the seedier parts of London in her efforts to help unfortunate girls

5. sky blue... because she is free spirited and cheerful, like a summer's day, but clouds could come in at any moment
