one - introductory prose

[amissbennet]

I am to understand that the writings here correspond to others in this county, and that by writing within I am also sharing my words with others. I dare say it brings to mind the sort of chance acquaintance that I might dream of and that my mother would find absolutely nonsensical. What better way to hear the news of town? And yet, also, what better way to be known by strangers and to chance that the wrong sort of person might come to know you? I feel as though I have inherited a small fortune, that so many people should know so much about me.

Though I have become somewhat acquainted with my residence here, I must admit that I had not expected to be aboard a ship such as this, or to find my room in such familiarity. I do hope you will forgive my candor. My name is Miss Elizabeth Bennet and I am quite at my leisure to meet any person who should desire to call upon me.

I cannot possibly begin to comprehend what it might mean for you to have arrived from my future, as you say. I dare say you might be an inmate who is all too eager to take advantage of my inexperience in these matters.

Wha

No, it's

I'm a warden, honey.

As the Colonel has warned me not to accept such declarations strictly in the manner which they are offered, I am forced to resign myself to remaining in ignorance in this matter. That is, until such a time that one could speak as to your position. I apologize if I cause offense.

[acid_rayne]

Dude, I'm not asking you on a date! I'm just...

Look, if you want proof, then write out a message asking others about me. They'll back me up.

Also, I've got weapons. Inmates don't.

...I will be happy to inquire with the Colonel as to your position, though I should expect that to be blessed with such frankness would leave any well meaning person in rapture at those who can afford delicacy with their words.

[acid_rayne]

You're going to make me scream.

Uh, right...

Let me see, now...

Given the mutually beneficial understanding our respective positions could bring, I feel only that I should

You go and speak to the Colonel. I'll be right here.

Hahaha.. I love it

[amissbennet.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. I will certainly inform you as soon as I have reached a conclusion of one manner or the other.

:)

[acid_rayne]

Looking forward to it...

I hope.
