It seems the weather is already growing cooler. Autumn is closing in, I suppose.

I only now realized I have not officially congratulated His Majesty and Miss Greengrass on their engagement. My apologies. Please allow this to be my public statement and best wishes for them!

Miss Greengrass, I look forward to being fully at your service in court.

I still feel week from the last turning. I think my age is beginning to get the best of me.


I'm not sure how I feel about this news. No. That's a load of rubbish. I'm sure I know exactly how I feel about this news. I can't believe that blithering idiot has gone and done it again!

The poor girl...

I can understand her desire to make herself anonymous. I commend her for it. I just wish he wouldn't put himself in this position in the first place. And I wish his lusts did not entrap so many young women.

He doesn't seem to understand, that the guilt goes both ways. And he feels the burdens less.

I suppose that's what comes with royalty, though.

Sirius, my dear friend...if I could hex common sense into you, I would.
