With a mischievous smile on her face, Helga grabbed for her self-inking quill from the bedside table and began spelling out the name: Mrs. Helga... "A - A - L - D - E - N - B - E - R - G," she murmured as she wrote, trying not to misspell the horrendous German-sounding name. Helga had nothing against foreigners, but their names took far too much effort to spell! Then, in explanation, she showed the page to Henrietta.
"I must keep notes because I've met a lot of gentlemen," she explained, fondly caressing the spine of her journal. "I begin my writing my name as if I were his wife; it may seem silly, but it helps me decide if I would even consider the man an option at all." In her mind, Helga tried to picture how the name 'Henrietta Aaldenberg' might look written on the page. He'd been a charming man and happy enough to talk to her.
"Once that is done, I record any and all relevant information—birth order, profession, demeanor. Anything noteworthy. See?" she asked as she scribbled down a basic description of the man.
