Lady Capulet: I Shall Die For My Diary


A diary excerpt that one of the servants stole from Lady Capulet's personal journal

Dear Diary,
        Today has been very frustrating. The fool of a Nurse keeps rambling whenever I get near her. The only good thing that happened today was talking to Juliet about that lovely suitor (who happens to be begging for Juliet's attention), Paris. He is a very suitable boy, living as the kinsman of the Prince and has attained the title "County". If she shall agree to wed him (oh, how I should hope she will), then he and my Juliet will lead a happy, satisfying life, without many hurdles to cross over. Unfortunately, the irritating Nurse happened to interfere into that as well. Who needs her advice, and who heeds it? She is an absolutely useless adviser, which is fine, because her job is only to be the Nurse to Juliet, and that shall be IT! Her and her husband can visit the heavens and even hell for all I care. The miserable wretch is always talking and butting her head into things, she need not pay attention to. Even though Juliet happens to take a liking toward the Nurse, she is my daughter and will heed what I say. The day is old, and the night young. I shall take peace in my slumber.
