I have thought about this actually, much since Jonathan has been gone. I dream of our lives together when he is home and safe. We shall live in a blue house and have a son named for a loved one as is traditional. We will be there for any child we have unlike our own parents. That I can swear. As to any other details, the dreams change night by night. I suppose they do not matter much then. As long as Jonthan is there. I miss him.

Oh, this is quite a big question to place in an anonymous letter, although, it is something I have thought about a lot recently. Naturally part of the decision is what Arthur would want. We would like a boy as an heir but I would also love to raise a little girl. I personally want a big family, four to five children, which would be quite the undertaking but fulfilling and beautiful at the same time. As to names we have not discussed it much. I favor the name Rosalind for a girl.

Oh why thank you dear. What a kind letter.

For example, to call something a bore is to use slang for something uninteresting but feels quite different to say. “Bore” is so much more fun, it is almost as though you are not interested enough to bother with a more proper sentence.

Pardon? I believe the skin on my forehead is quite clear.

Ps. I insist on introducing you to my friend John Seward, he is a very impressive and honest man. I promise you will get on quite well, even if only as friends.

I like purples and yellows. Purple like sweet smelling flowers and yellow like the sun. I apologize but I simply cannot choose just one. Do you have a favourite colour?
