YOUR FATHER HAS NOT YET HEARD, AS I WISH TO SPARE HIS HEART FROM THE SHAME OF IT!YOU ARE NOT GROWING ANY YOUNGER, YET YOU SHOULD STILL BE CAPABLE OF OBTAINING A DATE FOR AN EVENT OF SUCH INTERNATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE! I WOULD NOT SEE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR FUTURE MERELY TO VEX ME! THERE ARE STILL ELIGIBLE BACHELORS, WERE YOU TO PUT FORTH THE EFFORT!RATHER THAN WASTING IT ON THAT WOMAN YOUR COUSIN CALLS HIS WIFE!

The envelope quivered in fury before her, and with much resignation, Aileen opened it before it'd scorch the ceiling.Cullodena Reid's voice burst forth, shrieking so loudly that the pets begged to be let outside, Abby turned up the music upstairs, and the plates in the kitchen rattled.Through it all, Aileen gritted her teeth. When it was over, she rose and left the room.Abby hopped down the stairs as she usually did, expecting to make fun of the letter and giggle at Aileen's impersonations. But instead, she found Aileen in the library over a fresh roll of parchment."What are you doing?" The younger sister's eyes widened. "Step away from the quill!""I merely have a few points to make," Aileen informed her coolly."It's a bad idea! Like those letter wars with Oz. Ok, worse than that!"Aileen ignored her, dipped her quill in the inkwell, and said aloud as she wrote, "Dearest mother."Abby moved forward, peering over her shoulder. "Oh, you shouldn't!" She whispered hopefully.December 21stDearest mother,Since my ears will never be the same, I will keep this brief and save our eyes.Dare I ask how far your unspeakable rudeness has gotten you with the Knights? If you wish to slither into Tarron’s good graces, I suggest being civil to his wife. Despite your behavior, she’s been perfectly pleasant to me.Though your lack of respect for the teaching profession is abundantly clear, I see no reason to refuse a fellow professor a dance, especially one whose conduct has been above reproach. All things considered, I had a lovely time attending without a date, and do not regret it.The holiday season has only just begun. Do be careful not to lose your voice too early. I should hate to miss your dulcet tones this Christmas.Your devoted daughter,Aileen Skip to next post Re: [Dec 21-?] And Thus the Howlers Shall Go Forth Reply #2 on February 04, 2013, 02:45:56 PM December 23AILEEN,SINCE YOU SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT I DO HAVE STANDARDS! THEY PREVENT ME FROM CONDONING YOUR COUSIN'S SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOR! I AM SADDENED TO SEE THAT YOU DO NOT!AND PROFESSOR TRISHNA, ABOVE REPROACH? THAT MAN HAS NO RESPECT FOR TRADITION OR LEARNING! HE WOULD HAVE US ALL GROVELING AT THE FEET OF MUGGLES AND THEIR METAL MONSTROSITIES, AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!BUT THAT IS NOT EVEN THE WORST OF YOUR OFFENSES! TO DISPLAY YOUR SISTER AS IF SHE WERE SOME PAINTED DOLL WHICH YOU WOULD HAND OVER TO WHATEVER MUGGLE-SPAWN DARED TO LOOK AT HER? TO RUIN YOURSELF IS ONE MATTER, BUT TRYING TO DRAG HER DOWN TO THE DEPTHS WITH YOU IS TRULY DESPICABLE! SHE HAS A TRUE CHANCE AT A PROPER LIFE WITH MR.

This is Abby. Your charming other daughter.I couldn't help but overhear your Howler to Aileen and just wanted to clear up one important part.I totally did not look like a painted doll!
