I Hope Edward Doesn't Meet Any Other Girls

 Dear Readers,

I don't know how Edward would meet any other girls in the military, but I worry about it just the same. What if his regiment stops in a town and the local girls come out to greet the soldiers? What if they have a party? I won't be there and somebody else will.

I worry especially because Edward's father clearly had a mistress. I saw  her through the window when I went to find Mr. Byrne. She lived in a townhouse in London before she got murdered. And what was more, readers, she was an Arab woman!

What if Edward meets somebody else and thinks he can have a mistress, too, at the same time he is engaged to me? I don't think I could stand it.

Sincerely yours,

Dora Benley
P.S. It's awful to have to worry like this just weeks off the Lusitania!
