My first weekend at the countryside.
So this is what it is like, the life at the countryside! I was looking forward to spend this weekend with Mary and the Staveneys. Since I had never been in Dorset before, I didn’t exactly know what I expected from this place, but certainly not this. I cannot imagine why they consider being in that small house without any comfort as a recreation. I will definitely think of it as a horrible place. I didn’t like the small old-fashioned house, or the surroundings outside the house. And all the creepy insects and spiders which were everywhere, even in my bedroom! Everything turned out to be different from what I had thought of. My clothes were wrong, my shoes were wrong…….To say in a word: I didn’t fit in! Despite of this, it seemed that Mary perfectly fitted in.

It must have been difficult for Victoria to watch her daughter having a really good time in the countryside with the Staveneys.
Well written, Rigmor.
Imagine someone resenting a week-end in Dorset, a beautiful part of England!
Anyway, I think you show exactly how Victoria felt about the whole business. Clever!
