Another one I might take advantage of! You are on your best today, Marguerite.

You make it sound beautiful. A few more rainy afternoons in your company and I may even see something of its charm.

This rain is simply dreadful.

Go right for it, everything we do as humans is to make history is it not?

Yes, why yes I do. It’s beautiful…something to immerse yourself in and be thankful for. Without it, we would have the unfortunate side effects of a drought, and it replenishes everything. The rain is calm.

[master-dupont]

I meant to ask, how is that coming along?

Minor setbacks? Well, they can’t be all that if they’re minor, ya? I’ve been fine, I s’pose…singin’ and stuff.

[master-dupont]

Aside from some minor setbacks, I have been good as always. What of yourself, Pace?

Eh—the sincerity was lackin’, but I’ll take what I can get. Anyway, how’re ya?

[master-dupont]

Wise words, Miss Hollis. I trust you wouldn't mind if I borrow them one day? Not without crediting their author, of course.

I have found myself oddly dependent on sunlight, and thus the rain has ill effects on my mood most days. Observing it is bad enough without having to physically experience it. Do you enjoy it?

This rain is simply dreadful.

Well yes, it is a curse for a reason…but I suppose the same could be said about corsets and champagne. With every good comes a bad.

Why should we care about rain? Why not walk in it and enjoy it?

[master-dupont]

It had its appeal initially, but that vanished around... the half year mark, I would say.

How is work as a lawyer turning out for you, then? Better than my studies, I should hope.

This rain is simply dreadful.

[master-dupont]

That sounds most unfortunate indeed, although I commend you for finding something of interest in the situation. I have been well, as always. My studies have entirely ceased to fascinate me, although I suppose that should have been expected. Economics is not exactly the most... stimulating field.

This rain is simply dreadful.

[master-dupont]

The words sound far more convincing coming from you.

Nothing you would bother me with is not exactly nothing. Are you certain you do not wish to let me assist you?

Only well? I happen to believe you’ve turned into quite the gentleman……I wouldn’t consider you a great friend otherwise. 

No —— nothing I’d bother you with. 

[master-dupont]

I was a late bloomer, but I enjoy thinking that I have turned out rather well since then.

You have all the time in the world. Is there anything in particular bothering you?

Hardly an excuse. 

         —— Alright, I s u p p o s e I could accept it. Not everyone can be an intellect at the age of 5. 

I’d never consider you a bad host. It’s just….it’s a big difference. It’ll take some getting used to. 

[master-dupont]

In my defence, I was a child, Violet, barely four or five years of age. I believe myself excused on account of my tender age.

I do, and yet it would be in poor taste not to offer you assistance. I may have been an easily confused child, but I will not be a bad host.

I’m sorry…..years? I expect this to continue for a few more days, perhaps a week —— but a year? My, Max you are certainly a treat. 

Thank you for the kind offer, I shall remember it. Though you understand better than most how I prefer to do things on my own. 

[master-dupont]

It can be somewhat overwhelming at first. I would often get lost as a child, and it would happen for years after we moved in. Always threw my mother into a panic.

If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask, as always.

Max.……

           —— Oh, I understand. I still find myself searching aimlessly for the bath on occasion. But it’s truly lovely; the house, I mean. I quite enjoy it. 

[master-dupont]

One can dream.

How have you bee faring, Nathaniel?

This rain is simply dreadful.

[master-dupont]

Not to be rude, but I sincerely hope you prove wrong. A spell of good weather would be preferable, as always.

This rain is simply dreadful.

[master-dupont]

And I apologise for giving you a fright. I suppose I'm still not used to-- How are you liking the house?

Oh my —— you gave me a fright. I apologize, I didn’t hear you walk up. 

[master-dupont]

Very well, then, Miss Borough. Being a lady is infinitely harder than being a man. How is that?

Hats aren’t that bothersome—I’ve worn hats, so I should know. Come now, Mr. Dupont, admit that bein’ a lady is harder than bein’ a man.

[master-dupont]

We go through plenty of pains ourselves! For example... Do you know how bothersome hats can be? I wager not.

Don’t lie—I know it sounds uncomfortable, but I really think men should try it! Just to know the pains ladies go through to look the way they do.

[master-dupont]

Now that is one fine bit of reasoning that I wish I could agree with.

I don’t understand why ladies have to wear corsets all the time. What do the men have to wear that’s uncomfortable? Nothin’, that’s what. We should make men wear corsets and see how they like it…

[master-dupont]

I don't even know you yet, but I'm REALLY excited to have you back! :D And happy late birthday. :3
