15 February

Today I went to the village and bought the most delightful little ring in Ernest's name from Fingal O'Flaherty, the goldsmith. It is a simple gold band which signifies our simple unbreakable love for one another. What bliss it is to be in love with someone whose name is Ernest! I do hope I will not be bored with him after he settles down. Perhaps I shouldn't have gotten such a simple ring after all. I shall have to insist upon a fancy one at the wedding.
