I was awoken quite suddenly in the early hours by a banging on the door - a tearful Stuart, come to inform me that his elderly mother Annabelle Baxter had passed in the night. I feel her loss dreadfully. She is to be buried in the graveyard of the nearby Glimmerbrook Chapel; the same church where I am soon to be wed. It gives me some comfort to know that, in a way, her presence will be felt at my union after all. She will be dearly missed.

Today, I paid a visit to the Baxters, who very kindly listened while I bemoaned my ailing love life. Stuart confessed that he was rather pleased I had an interest in Miss McKinnon, as he has a fondness for our shared neighbour, Miss Pleasant! He and his mother are so very kind, and I came away from our conversation feeling reinvigorated.
