The Stranger, My Love.

       Uncle Jack went to the city again... His reason for leaving is his younger brother, Earnest. Uncle Jack informed me about his brother and his mischievous ways. Though he sounds very troubled and lost, I cannot help but feel a connection to this mysterious man, Earnest. It sparks my interest that he is always in a "situation" of some sort. That kind of lifestyle can only be lived by someone whom is free and daring, or careless I suppose. Though I am only a young lady, I long to meet this man full of trouble. My best friend, Ismene, scolds me for wanting a man out of the ordinary. She is such a goodie too shoes, always following the rules and trying to please everyone. I do not comprehend how she is still sane. But she is for sure that a man of Earnest's nature is merely poisonous for a girl like me. Even if her words are true, I still want to take a risk with this man I know nothing

 about besides a bad reputation. I can already tell he is the one for me. I find myself thinking about him during my dreadful German lessons. Miss Prism thinks I cannot concentrate, which is true. But German is so boring plus it is as if Earnest fills up all my thoughts leaving no room for anything else.
