Author's Preface
Monday, 9 December 1895
Beth has finally convinced Nathaniel that she is well. Mostly. He had me back in the butcher shop but still wants me to help out Beth on Wednesdays so she has an extra day to rest each week. I am happy to get back to work, but am also a little sad to be spending less time with Beth.

Sister Grace must have obtained a recipe for Mr. Harper, as he made beignets as part of Christmas dinner. She was not exaggerating when she said they were delicious. I wish we could have had more.

Mr. Fenris and Beth invited Ryn and me to eat dinner with them today. They told us they are planning on traveling to visit relatives, and asked if we would like to come along. Beth’s family lives near Thornton Castle, and she says it would not be difficult to go a little further to Fettercairn if we want. Ryn is excited to visit Mum and Dad, but I’m not sure how I feel. I really miss them, but I worry I might really be cursed or Fettercairn might be cursed, and that it would be dangerous to go.
I could not deny the opportunity though. I could not do that to Ryn or our parents. I can only hope I will not regret visiting their graves. We will travel in two weeks.
