We arrived in London and remained there for several months. In that time, I achieved friendships with many intelligent gentlemen who wish to help me in my quest. I was more than willing, in fact, I was anxious to learn from those men. They have offered to assist me in my desire to travel to India! I wish to spread European culture and colonization to the people there.
During our time in London, Victor remained distanced. I was the only person he seemed comfortable around, and even then he occasionally seemed like he didn't truly want me near him. Even the mention of company seemed upsetting to him, and he often created excuses to miss appointments and meetings. I do hope that his mood will soon become more joyful. I also hope it was nothing I did to upset him.
We recieved an invitation to Scotland, and I sprang at the chance. "Why not?" I urged Victor, "Let us go, for mine is the heart of a traveler!"
We quitted England at the end of March and passed through many locations, including:
Windsor, with it's breathtaking forests.
Oxford, which held historical sites of the incidents involving Charles I. We witnessed several amazing places, and at one point, Victor seemed almost happy. We were beyond saddened to leave the beautiful town of Oxford, but we knew we had to move on.
Matlock, with scenery which resembled that of Switzerland. Victor and I were quite content for a while, but after I spoke of Servox and Chamounix, he suddenly had an overwhelming desire to continue our travels.
From Derby, we headed North through Cumberland and Westmoreland. This part of our journey took two months, during which we found aquaintances who lightened even Victor's sad, heavy heart.
Finally, we arrived in Edinburgh which was beautiful, but it could not be compared to the sights we discovered in Oxford.
From here, we will be moving towards Perth, in Scotland. Until then, I wish to spend time with my dearest Victor. I shall tell more of our journey at a later time.
-Henry C.
Love it, there is so much detail and so much livelyness in Henry. It really as if you jumped into his mind and took everything about him and his thought and just put it on here. Like a copy/paste brain transplant, great job.
ReplyDeleteIt's all very good. You gave Henry's emotions and put them into words that were easy to understand. You also gave facts, like of the places they were visiting or places they were exploring. Good job. I only have one suggestion. On your 3rd sentence "those" should be "these" because at that point you were writing in present tense. :)
ReplyDeleteI like it! You pretty much summed up all the things that he did. You gave a whole bunch of detail too. I could really understand what was going through in his head. Nice job in writing down his feelings!
