Note No. 39. Gothic Houses, Hymns and Duties

-

18th August 1819

 

Ah! Today is the day! My Gothic House is finally being built! If everything goes well, it will be ready to take a first bath next year! I am so extremely excited!

Okay, that is the news of the day, but I feel I should write something more than these few sentences… Well… What can I say? What can I think…? Hmm? Because I can think when I am alone. When I was younger, I absolutely could not show others that I have a brain. I am not a man! I was only a miss! Now I am married, alone in my room… I am free! I can ask myself questions! I can even jump!

Now I think I start to understand why I always heard that get married as fast as possible. I am finally living! I can finally breathe!

Talking of breathing… I have already met here so many ill people. I have never mentioned this because I have always been walking with William and my darling has always been the most important then but… Now I start to see how precious this place is! And how valuable it is to be in a good healthy condition! Being consumptive is awful! I have known few such people and they all died way too soon… I will do all I can to help such people here.

Those legendary Polish, Lithuanian and Ukrainian lands seem to be so far away… But I met lately… a bard. His name was Wernyhora. He was so old, but he could not stop singing. I remember it was really touching - his poetry, his melodies… But somehow, I cannot remember what it was about… William’s eyes were so shiny when he was listening to him… Maybe one day I will read his hymns. Maybe one day somebody else will pay attention to his words better than me. I know that is what he deserves. I can only see my lovely Willy.

What were we doing there? Well, me and my lover really like nature and walking. We met that man in the road.

Or maybe those lands are not so far… I think I will have to find an old map to find out… I do not know why it seems to be so interesting to me now…

The last point today – I talked with Mary about acting career… She said she does not know who she would like to be… She only wants to play… Maybe I expect too much from 3-year-old young lady?

Oh! My kitty also wants to play right now! I must go then. Also, I think my Willy may be missing me… So yes, I really must finish writing today and run!

Ah, duties…



Wernyhora, Jan Matejko

Note No. 56 - Last Word About England And Scotland

-
12 th  September 1820   Dear diary, William is going crazy but you probably know it well. Why was he screaming yesterday? That is a really good question. I honestly did not know... Actually, nothing happened... I mean... It was impossible to find out! When I went to Catherine, she and Mary (my wise women!) told me what happened - William Anthony.... Ah! Let me tell you tomorrow!  Today I feel a little bit sour when I remind myself that tour... Different place every day... And those sad people and sad weather... They all were bored and they did not even know about it... It made me sick at the end... I spent two days nothing but laying in bed. My head was all the time aching and William said that I looked thin.   London. That is where I was born. That is what my parents knew before they left me... They could stay and live a little bit longer... Now I have new family and I am glad but that place made me feel so melancholically. That world is gone forever. Also, jus...

Note No. 54. ROMAntic Day in Italy

-
10 th September 1820   Oh! I thought I would have written about England and Scotland today or maybe I would have started my new one-act drama, but my husband really like to ruin my plans… Yes! He took me for a romantic dinner instead! Unbelievable, right? What can I say? He just knocked to my chamber this morning, flowers in his hands (he said he picked up those field flowers by himself; I do not know where he found a meadow in Rome but ok) and he did not let me say a word – he just came and kissed me! And then he said, “Do not worry, my dear, I have prepared everything for you, my queen”. Ah, he is such a sweetheart! Then we left our residence (after breakfast and two hours of preparing THIS look; I mean my white-blue English style dress) and he knew exactly where to lead me – a little super cute restaurant. Only for us! Violin sounds played all the time, I have tasted so many completely new dishes to me that I look like I am with the third child now! We were there until ...
