003

Well. I made the mistake of mentioning the gala to my brother in my last letter to him, and got a reply this morning in which he made a "joke" about how I will never be able to find a boy to go with if I'm going to wear heels with my dress. Really? Is it so off-putting to have a tall date? I would not have thought that all the young men of our schools would think like this. In any case, I shall wear the shoes, date or not. What I intend to wear will look silly with flats.

On a more positive note, Jean-Claude's late reply means that I now have my owl back in school with me, which is useful. Besides, I think Franc will prefer the weather here. He's more used to the cold.
