Dear Diary,
Here I am again.
Barton Cottage is not as bad as I thought it would be. Of course it’s smaller than our house Norland Park, but now we’re safe and sound, and happier than we were next to that person whose name I don’t need to say. Sir John Middleton, my mother’s cousin, welcomed us warmly. He’s a very kind and good person and helped us a lot. His wife, Lady Middleton, is very elegant and polite, but wasn’t as warm as her husband. We had a welcoming dinner two days after we arrived, where we met Colonel Brandon and Mrs. Jennings, Lady Middleton’s mother. Colonel Brandon is still single at thirty-five - THIRTY-FIVE! - and is definitely too old to get married. But he was the only person who paid attention when I played the piano later that night so Elinor thinks that he is love with me. Ewww!!!
After that, we started to explore the area around our cottage and, very fast, our favorite activity became walking in the hills. One day, I was walking with Margaret and it started to rain a lot. We started to run, but I slipped on the wet grass and fell. Luckily, there was a gentleman hunting and he ran over to see if I needed help. I found out my ankle was hurt, then he picked me up and brought me home. I was so embarrassed! His name is Willoughby and, well, we all agreed he was very handsome.
Here I am again.

The next day, he went to the cottage to see how I was doing. I was, again, very embarrassed, but soon I realised he was a perfect gentleman. He loves dancing and music, which means he’s nothing like Edward Ferrars! He is perfect.
