Journal of the Marquis de Sade

My darlings, I've been entirely too quiet since my return from port, but I must admit that I've been completely run off my feet. So very much to do in so little time, but I enjoyed every moment of it and the company that I kept. This morning I did not expect to receive as much as I did, if anything at all. Allow me then to thank you each individually:

And finally I've been gifted by our dear Pere Noel with a companion. I am rather fond of dogs, so this little one will be a good distraction for me. She's rather energetic, so I am half-tempted to name her after Giselle. What do you think, readers? I shall have to read on her breed -- which according to this book is Groenendael.

I look forward to seeing all of you at the gala tonight.

This is not funny, Adrmial. Not. Funny. At. All.

If I had wanted to see my wife again, I would have asked about it around Christmas.

Romana has come back.

Thank you, Admiral, for the new clothing and the redressing of my chambers. Stone walls and floors are not the best of confines when it is so cold.

[Private to Vida Bohemme]

Madame, have you found anything yet?
