Dear Diary,
I spent the morning in rustic pursuits. I used to do it with Fanny but now am more often forced to do it alone. Indeed Fanny was down at Cobbler's End helping her new close acquaintances trim their own bushes. Father, again, departed for Netherton to collect his new dog that has now been weaned. He carried with him my reply to Mr Ashforth entreating him to come.
