june
saw play at at royal galery of ilustration. very funny. haven’t
been to theater before. must try to go again. maybe someone else
will pay again...
got dragged to dressmaker with other ladies. need to have new dress for engagement party. ladies said my clothing not good enough. scared to move in dress. what if i tear this one? could never afford to replace and have never done any repair on such fine fabric. and the decorations to go with. i was not consulted. ladies just handed things to me and told me they would help me put them on right. just so long as can still wear my hair stick knives... will have to practice getting out of dress in a hurry without destroying dress. don’t want to fight in it.
very quiet. lots of helping edward. even learning what tools he’s asking for. now that he describes them better...

had to go to a depostion today. first time i have ever been in
a court. lots of waiting. was asked questions about one of the
chases i participated in. couldn’t keep everything straight.
was feeling bad. decided i should keep better track of events
that i participate in, but didn’t want to pay for new pocket
books. mr. wooster solved problem by giving me new diary. he said
something about agatha and please fill it. he also promised to
give me as many more as i need. hmmm why is he giving me stuff?
have spent some time back at the school teaching night classes. several of the girls have gotten out of practice. they have not been practicing like i suggested. also worked with my street girls. they were very happy to see me. i told them i would try to be out more regularly to work with them.
wednesday, july 6
another dress fitting. getting more than one dress. all of material
much too fine. and they are paying for it. i’ll never pay
back the debt. not with my whole life of wages. they don’t
believe me that i would be better at defending (and much better
disguised) if i was in servant’s clothing.
must get someone to help me learn to move properly
in one of these cages disguised as dresses...
