25 January

Dreadful lessons simply all day! I really can not understand why I should read political economy. It doesn't seem at *all* a proper sort of subject for a young girl. Besides, it is excessively *boring*! Luckily, Dr. Chasuble happened along and Miss Prism felt she needed to talk to him about an important matter, so I hied myself to the barn to Peter. He made love to me as always, but he seemed strangely distant and did not even *try* to touch me. Really! I *hardly* expected that sort of behavior from my future husband. I informed him that I will expect better from him in future.
