Cecily's Diary

July 26,1894

Today is a wonderful day; the sun is shining on the pink roses in the garden. I should go sprinkle them before they die, the sun may be too intense for them today. But still, Miss Prism wants me to finish my German lessons before doing it. Fortunately, she’s busy with the daily visit of Dr Chasuble so I can write my thoughts in my sweet diary. Before I forget, Ernest sent me another beautiful letter. This one was scented with roses, just as my garden. How cute he is. I can’t wait to meet him. In this letter, he showed me the interest of being engaged, but it was not defenite. In my reply, I also showed him a bit of interest... But not too much! We’ll see what happens in the next letter. I guess the next one will be scented with tulips, my favorite flower. Ernest knows how to make me feel happy. I should go finish my lesson before Miss Prism sees the tricks I use, she would be angry if she knew I use a German dictionary. I must remember to erase this sentence if I publish my diary in the coming years...Okay, time to close the subject, Miss Prism is greeting Dr Chasuble, he has a ceremony this afternoon so he can’t stay any longer. Sad for me, I have to go.

Gwendolen's diary

July 26, 1894



It was cold and the sky was dark; I was hiding in the barn that is located a few meters from the castle of my grandparents. In fact, I had left the Upper East Side to join my grandparents in the north of England in a city known by the name of Durham. The idea of sending me to live in the north of England was my mother’s, Lady Bracknell. She wanted to punish me because I doesn't want to mary a man whom she choose . Firstly he was named Martin and Iwant to marry a man named Ernest because of the name's connotations, and secondly i really crave appearance and style and he was not my type. Most of people say that I am the best example of Victorian attitudes , I cannot say they lie . Most of people say that I am the best example of Victorian attitudes , I cannot say they lie . I miss my cousin Algernon , but I am not suppose to . He suppose to miss me because I am sophisticated , pretty and ittelectual maybe it’s pretentious but this is how I am.

Algernon's Diary

July 26, 1894
Today, I went for a walk on London’s streets. It was a lovely day to take some fresh air and a brief rest from my upper class life. Having good manners is quite exhausting, I must be careful to not to spoil my reputation. But, in my situation I must behave as if I am just taking a walk in the park.
Later, I went at my new friend's house a certain Jack Worthing. One of his friends was already there when I arrived. We were having fun until they started a boring speech about a marriage that was going to happen soon. They invited me. Trying to not look too uninterested, I politely refused. I told him that I needed to take care of an invalid friend of mine called Mr. Bunbury. Surprisingly they totally swallowed the story. Either they are too foolish or I was too convincing. That move was even cleverer than when I told that guest not to eat the cucumber sandwiches because it was for more important guests. That was the reason I gave to him to keep them all for myself! I might consider using that excuse often in the future. The night has fallen and it seems like tomorrow shall be a quite boring day. I was invited to a family meeting.
I think… I think I know how I am going to get out of this…

Gwendolen's diary

July 26, 1894

It was cold and the sky was dark; I was hiding in the barn that is located a few meters from the castle of my grandparents. In fact, I had left the Upper East Side to join my grandparents in the north of England in a city known by the name of Durham. The idea of sending me to live in the north of England was my mother’s, Lady Bracknell. She wanted to punish me because I was very arrogant.

Once in Durham away from all the hectic evenings and beautiful boys of my style, I began to feel lonely. But that night, I met a man at the barn who was far from being my style or from the high class. He had heard me crying and so, he approached and tried to comfort me. I was way too arrogant that I did not even occupy him. Gradually as that young man named Earnest no longer spoke to me, I started appreciating him. Earnest was one of the many great servants of my grandfather and did not have an education.

After a long discussion, I had found a place for him in my heart. I found him different from the others; he was much more caring and sensitive. But, he was also less fortuned and came from a family of low class. I knew that a story between him and I would be impossible and I had to leave for London the next day. Therefore, I promised myself that I would marry a man that my family would accept but, would be called Earnest.

Miss Prim's diary

July 26, 1894

            Jack will leave for town in two days. While he is away, I will try to show some more strictness with Cecily. She keeps dreaming just like these unconventional characters. I would be so glad if she would show interest on her lessons. Today, as usual, she went outside in the middle of her German grammar lesson. I can see that her education is not so important to her; she often speaks about some romantical dreams she has. In fact, I didn’t get married and this is may be why these thoughts she has never obsessed me. Education had always taken the major part of my time; I don't have much time for entertainment. If she doesn’t get back in ten minutes I’ll go get her. I guess a short break couldn’t be bad too. Maybe even Queen Victoria takes short breaks. Oh! What an example she is for us!

            I don’t even know why I am writing a diary. Maybe I am losing memory with the years. What I might not forget is the moment when I lost Lord Bracknell’s baby. It marked my life; I would give my hand to find that child again.

            Enough! I’m going for her.
