September 14, 1889
I received a letter from mother yesterday. I had half expected to find it full of criticisms and faults after I didn’t take Earth Magic. I had written her a letter explaining that these would prove more useful in a drawing room than Earth Magic might, hence why I had chosen them. Her letter didn’t even mention these courses beyond asking how school was in general. I admit that I was relieved for that. Especially after my conversation with Calla this summer. Perhaps if I seem like my goal is the perfect debut once I receive my NEWTs than I needn’t fear her suggestion of Pendergast. Truly though, I could not suffer being taken from my friends.
