ℙ the twenty first;

[Anyone listening over the journal will possibly hear the wooden snap of clothespins being popped off of the line and a light slosh of water in what may or may not be a sink or basin. Water might splatter onto the page of the journal, since Katherine actually doesn't want to sit around and watch clothing dry.]

Cleaning out a closet and finding shopping bags from Paris, from Christmas last year, that had never even been opened and put away - at least it gave me something to do today.

[Considering Katherine spent nearly her last six months in the castle dealing with corsets and bloomers -- it's no wonder that she didn't dig deep into that closet earlier.]

I will say, hand-washing is the most tedious task to do. [She says this as she hangs up another camisole top onto the line in the laundry room. The laundry room which now has a pile of discarded paper shopping bags and boxes, with colored tissue papers and ribbons all on the floor at her feet. The laundry room where the available lines are strung up with lace bras and frilly things that one would buy in Paris if they had the ability to compel anyone and everyone that was working retail there. The laundry room where anyone is welcome to come and be frustrated that she's taken up all that space.]

I think you need to refresh your definition of "waiting long".

I finally figured out what to get you for Christmas.

Oh? I am curious.

Of course you're curious.

Do you have any guesses?

I guess that I will like it.

Such confidence. [She teases.]

It's apparent that your friends are going to continue buying you modern clothing and to help you avoid any moments of someone thinking you are poorly dressed, which should never happen, I'll help you make a look book.

We'll take photos of the combinations of your clothing so that you can know what goes together, without needing to ask someone else for help. [It'll make an impression on your lady, too.]

[Wow, that is a pretty cool gift. Not what he would have asked for last year, but...]

That is very thoughtful of you, Katherine. I look forward to this... look book... and I am sure my modern friends will, too.

Have you used a camera since arriving here?

I have, but not terribly well.

We'll use an instant camera, so you'll be able to see right away if it's done well. Then you can keep the camera when we're through so you can add things to it yourself.
