Armand and I are finally and happily married! Dieu merci! I don't think I could have put up with Armand's impatience any longer. But we love each other dearly.
Before I met him, he had been very harsh on the esclaves, but now, it is as if he is a new man! I hardly recognize him as the once terrifying master of the Aubigny Plantation. And we have been so happy! I wonder, how could one be so happy all of the time? Is it not a bit unrealistic? But oh! I am ever thankful and blessed to be so happy!
But I must go my friends, for I have wonderful news for my wonderful husband!
Au revoir!
P.S. This is our new home on the plantation! What do you think mesdames? Se manifique no?
It is wonderful. Look at all those windows looking out to the garden. I'm sure we are all so very happy for you. I only wish we could all be together than maybe we could be happy together. One day, I hope.

PS. What is this wonderful news of yours? You must share with your friends. :)
What a lovely home! What a bird, that Armand is.
ReplyDeleteYou must share your news, Desiree! I think it would do Jane some good. She's beginning to worry me... now that my sister, Helen, has abandoned me for that Charlie, I feel rather lonely and I'm starting to feel a sort-of responsibility for Jane. But John, that croaker, won't permit my visits! He thinks I'll upset Jane. All I want is to take her out for some fresh air. The nerve of that man!

*Croaker: doctor
Mon Dieu! The nerve of that John! Is she not allowed to spend time with her child either?
DeleteAll in do time mes amis! You shall see soon enough! My happiness is about to increase!
