I wish there were more occasions like last night's Ball. I do love a night of dancing, and it was such good fun to see everyone in fancy dress. Especially the men with their short robes and silk stockings and heeled shoes! It must be said, though, that the women were more uniformly flattered by the styles of their robes: not every man looks well in great hose.

I was glad that Ned and I had gone twice during the week for dancing lessons. I wouldn't have dared attempt a galliard if we hadn't, but it was so exhilarating! I wonder if we could get up a club once a month or so for Renaissance dancing?

There was so much that I can't begin to do it justice--so much that was beautiful, spectacular, unique, intriguing, and a few things that were downright shocking. But we all agreed that the funniest thing was something we'd have missed if we hadn't gone out to take the air at just the moment we did: if you missed the dancing minstrels, you really missed a show! And if you saw it, I bet you agree!


Orion. Thank you so much for the tickets. Ned and I enjoyed it all week, and last night was truly special. I only wish you could have been with us.
