daddy long legs

Chapter 16

Dearest Daddy-Long-Legs:
This is a letter I wrote on purpose in the middle of this month because I feel so lonely tonight.It was raining and snowing outside the window, and snowballs were beating against my attic.There was no light on the campus, and it was pitch black everywhere. I drank black coffee and didn't want to sleep.

Tonight we had a dinner party with Sally, Julia and Lanora Fenton and we had cake, sweets and coffee.Julia said she had a good time, but Sally was the only one left to help with the dishes.

Originally, I could use tonight to learn Latin.But, to tell the truth, I have always been careless about learning Latin.We've finished Levy's "On Old Age" and are working on "On Friendship" (sounds like damn Isisia).

Would you mind being my grandmother for a bit first?Sally had a grandmother, Julia and Lenora had a grandmother, and a grandmother, and they all brought up their own grandmothers tonight.I also want to have such a relative - a kind and amiable grandmother.So, if you have no objection, I would like to send you a present for your 83rd birthday - a lace beanie with a purple ribbon - which I saw yesterday in a store in town.

The church bell struck twelve.I feel like I'm finally getting a little sleepy.

Good night, grandma.

love you judy

Dear Daddy Long Legs, I am about to write a composition in Latin.I have been studying hard and will continue to learn.I will be finishing this study soon.Make-up exams will be accepted for class 7 next Tuesday.I try to get a passing grade as much as I can, or face repeating a grade.By the next time I write, I'll either be safe and sound, happily out of a failing grade, or I'll be in pieces.

After the exam, I will write a decent letter to you.Tonight I'm going to work hard on Latin ablatives.in a hurry.

Judy
