Leechcraft
My father was trying to reduce the use of Leechcraft as a means to heal people. Leeches suck blood. You NEED your blood. Leeches are good for dealing with infections and removing bad blood or encouraging a wound that needs to bleed to do so. Using it for every damnable ailment is ridiculous! Have we not entered the 19th century?! Leechcraft was popular in the 15th... FIFTEENTH century. ZOOKS! You would think we progressed since then.
Jasper Williams Mysteries
Vanessa is reading those Jasper Williams Mysteries. They are like Penny Dreadful Horror Tales, only for mysteries. I have read a couple of the ones she has finished. She is very enamored by this crime solving duo of Jasper Williams ("investigator") and his assistant Dr. Theodore Forde (an American doctor from out West). They are entertaining. I am uncertain whether they are fact or fiction. Vanessa swears these men are real and can solve ANY problem. Oh sweet Vanessa.
Pending Funeral
Good thing one of my shirts is black. I can feel the heaviness in the home among the few residents. Lady Eleanor Flemming has been readying the rooms for the funeral and making arrangements. The body of Ewan cannot sit in the snow forever without a proper burial. So why does it nag on me that his death was unnatural? Beyond that fact that he was healthy and fit and young, he should have had no reason to die so suddenly. It just seems... wrong, like something is off. I need answers. Maybe I will be able to find them at the funeral.
