How things change!!

Oh my! How much is changed since last I wrote only last evening! My lady Juliet is off to Friar Laurence's cell to be married!! And not to the County Paris, oh no! She is marrying that Romeo, even the Montague who stole into our house and who stole away my lady's heart. I am much afraid for her, for she is so young, but love is true in her heart and he is a gentle and well mannered young man. I only fear what will become of the love when her parents find out. I await her return as a new bride, but must away now as Lady Capulet calls.

The Party

What a wonderful night was had at the Capulet home. All the finest people of Verona where here at the party. How lovely Juliet looked dancing. That Count Paris is getting a fine deal with her. She is so beautiful, kind and loving. She smiled on him and I will be pleased to see her say, "I do" to him in good time. The only damper on the evening came when that young Montague, Romeo was spotted by Tybalt at the party. I didn't hear until afterward about the problem, but apparently Tybalt was quite angry; he is a fiery one!! I also saw the Montague watching dear Juliet, and who can blame him for her beauty is so great. Again, a lucky one is the County.

A fight in Verona's streets

It seems as though there was quite a skirmish on the streets today. Some of the men of the home of my dear family, the Capulets, met with the men of the Montague home. Insults were flung from side to side and the whole town lost thier minds in the street screaming, fighting and spilling blood. Blessedly none was seriously hurt. My dear Juliet was no where near the scene, thankfully. She is growing up so, and I hear rumors of a suitor asking for her hand. At any rate, the fight ended with Prince Escalus declaring that the feud must end or anyone who breaks the peace will face punishment of DEATH! It is that Tybalt who I fear for most of all; his hatred is strong and his temper short. I must away now, as the Capulet home hosts a party tonight and I must help with the preparations and make sure my lady is dressed and finished in time. I think the suspected suitor may be coming tonight!
