From the Diaries of Lord Kellington.....Entry Two
I am wonderous!
A sane person thinks me mad.
Ha! But then again, the insane think I am sane.
I have fooled all of them. I have even fooled myself
Which is not easy considering I am so intelligent. Yes?
Last night, the dancing was...Ahhhhhh!
Given the company there.
A boring affair, I invited myself to.
Boring that is up until Ansell swooned when he spied a bug
dead on his half eaten cake.
All eyes were on him!
I can be such a pixie at times.
He never saw me.
As I came up behind him and plopped the poor bug on.
Oh! But the music was exquisite to my ears.
I heard every note.
Preternatural hearing is such a grand thing to have.
Young miss Silversmyte did come to dance with me twice.
Such a lovely throat.
had I not eaten early on, she would have been a sweet treat.
Oh, but how I dance. Not a step was out of place.
I was just superb.
Several dance partners I had.
Why! They were waiting in line for me
I think I am drunk on my own grace and powers.
The sun is coming. Tis time for me to retreat.
Sleep the sleep of the dead
