Days had passed since Lucia came to our home... Every day, she seemed to gain more beauty, perhaps it was the air? our home lays within a valley and there are many trees on the estate... the fresh air made her glow, she glowed even more when she told me stories of her life, of studying in Europe, in Japan... she loved it Japan, stories of Geisha, and Samurai... Well, not Samurai in her stay there, of course not, but stories of what she had learned while she was there... she was a very smart girl and she had me hanging on to her every word... she could tell me she was 10 feet tall and i would have believed her.

i prayed never to give her trouble. but that would soon end in defeat, my friend, and the future countess of L----* , Emily Dasher told her father that she would be taking classes with me, cause i seemed so lonely with just a governess to keep me company in my large mountain side estate... Father had died long ago, and my mother went away frequently on business trips... or so she said, i knew however that she was looking for love in all the wrong places... At home for example... I was growing to be a man without a mother, the only thing that remotely acted as a surrogate was Lucia...

Well, anyway... Back to Maria
