Observation:

Only 2 posts for the month of July! O inspiration! It comes and goes as it fancies. I wish it weren't so fickle. Goodness, if ever there were anything so elusive! I should hope no one is made prisoner to such a tyrant upon the nerves, as I have been, lest they be driven absolutely mad trying to keep up with its demands whilst their own needs are so oft neglected. Oh, but I shan't get too carried away. As it were, I must be proper if I am to entertain the thought of any kindness from the old master for the month of August.
