Dear Lord Willoughby!!! Thank heavens you are in a state of convalescence. Oh had Marianne or I know, we would have done much in our power to aid you in your recovery! In comparison to yourself, I have been occupied in a similar fashion to what I have always done - teaching Margaret, friend and companion to Marianne, and household helper to my mother. The only notable exceptions to make note of is the addition of Mr. Ferrars' presence upon Tumblr and my absence from Barton to visit Miss Kitty.
You are too kind, Miss Elinor, but I would be ashamed to put such a burden on your generous souls. Ah, ever noble are the activities you pursue! I admire your dedication to your sister’s education greatly. Has Mr. Ferrars indeed joined Tumblr? The things one misses while on a quest for revenge! And how is the fair Miss Kitty?
In reference to your latest answer to Elinor, I am calling a bluff.
My dear Marianne, your words wound me! That you give my story little merit is perhaps understandable. It us so fantastic that I can hardly believe it myself, but I assure you I speak honestly.
Are you going to "The Beatles: The Lost Concert" movie premier in a few weeks?

I must beg your pardon, for I do not know to whom or what you refer as “The Beatles”. My apologies for being unable to answer your query in a definite manner.
If one states himself that he identifies with a cat, it can be safe to assume that his mental capacities are such that anything wild, fantastic, or socially inappropriate seems to qualify as proper decorum.
And, my lovely Marianne, have you ever known me to be anything but? A gentleman with no imagination and a heavy spirit is never to be confused with one such as me.
Mr Willoughby, It seems an age since we last spoke. Collectively, Marianne and I have missed your very amusing and charming conversations, and hope you will be in regular correspondence once again.What occupation has capture your attention of late to not hear from you? I hope you are perfectly well, and that no illness has befallen you. Pray tell me, is your Aunt also of good health? - for last time we spoke she was not. Sincerely, Miss Elinor
My dear Miss Dashwood, your correspondence finds me in an extremely distressing situation for which I can blame my absence these past months. Several fortnights ago, I had been quite under the weather and the rain was doing nothing for my mood. Therefore, I decided to take a journey to the mainland in order to regain my health. Well, what could have happened but I was assaulted while underway and left for dead, with no possessions and no sense of direction! Since that time, I have been convalescing and, recently, seeking out the robbers. Now that I have returned to perfect health, I will settle these dreadful matters, and the rapscallions will no longer be a threat to hapless travelers. I will be free to take part in the splendid community we have here as often as I wish once I have cleared the roads of those scourges. And how have you been faring, Miss Elinor?
Willoughby...why, oh why, did you post a picture of that ridiculous cat?
I found the image quite diverting. I identify with the cat, as I believe myself to give the same charming impression. How have you been these past months, my dear? I have been deprived of your company for much too long.

Ah, yes, another inquiry! I do enjoy these ever so much. I encourage any and all of my followers to ask after my preferences and opinions. I shall endeavour to answer as fully as I can.
I quite approve of your choices, dear Anon. There are many ways to win my heart, but I will attempt to pick the five most expedient. A clever woman will always capture my fancy, as well as a woman who has the ability to speak her mind. I am never averse to a bit of a wild side in the fairer sex, for one never knows just how much pleasure that can afford until one is experienced in these matters, which I am, of course. A young lady with a head for freedom is desirable, and perhaps most importantly, I love a young woman who is talented in the musical arts.
Ah, lovely Anon, I have had a fair share of problems, I’m afraid. Some of the members of my society are altogether too stuck in the old ways. Maybe you have heard of my mishap with Colonel Brandon’s ward? That was certainly a bit troublesome. But I’d rather live as I like than not live at all, yes?
Hmm, this question was the most challenging for which to formulate an answer. Something that I miss…Overall, I am a creature of the present, but sometimes I find myself longing for the days that found me listening to Marianne Dashwood’s sweet voice fill Barton Cottage. The summertime in general is a delightful season, for I adore the colours and the scents on the breeze. For now that will have to do. Sincerely, John Willoughby
Mr. Willoughby, I hope you are enjoying your stay with us, though, I have been a most inattentive hostess. I do apologize. I have been quite busy planning some secret events that will be taking place in the next day or two. I do hope you will be able to join us in our activities.
My dear, do not apologize. I have been very pleased with my visit to your lovely residence, and even more so with the rest and solitude I have had while here. That having been said, I am very much a social creature, and I rejoice to hear that I will have the indulgence of your company soon. How I enjoy surprises! These events cannot arrive too quickly.
Hello Mr. Willoughby, I would like to let you know that I deleted my other Scarlett blog due to some problems, so that there won't be any confusion with seeing this blog. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Miss Scarlett! Indeed, your letter brightened my day exponentially. Thank you for informing me of the change. I will be pleased to see you on my dashboard in whatever form you take. It must be a relief to no longer have to deal with those pesky glitches. May your day be as lovely as your person. Yours, John Willoughby
