This is indescribable! You have replied to my letter! As you surely have noticed, I am writing to you personally, and not as though I am writing to myself as one does in a diary entry. And from henceforth on, I shall always write this way in the pages of this Diary. I insist that you do the same, for it is easier to understand. No matter, to reply to your questions-
Yes, you may call me Arabella, for it is easier and quicker to write than "Arabella Of Belfast".
It is most possible! If I am writing to you and I live in the 17th century, than it is perfectly possible! What is impossible is that you are writing from the 21st century! You must be of some importance to know how to write, for surely, even for your time, only the wealthy can hire tutors to teach them how to write! It does explain much about "cell phones", but what are they? How can I call you? I'm sure you would not be able to hear me if I'm in the 17th century! Do you speak into a cell phone and it magically raises the volume of your voice so that people far away may hear it? Although, I doubt that anyone I know will have a deep revolution and invent it. From the way you describe it, it sounds like only someone with great magical powers would be able to even imagine such a thing! And why would you need a number to "call"someone on a cell phone? Do you say the number before you speak so that only will be able to hear you? With all these complications, why do you not just write a letter and wait patiently for a reply?
Yes, I am thirteen. I have lived for thirteen summers, after all. And my style of writing is not old! It is the most recent form to the date! If you want to see old-form writing, than you should look at one of my grandfather's letters! He still uses "dost" and "thou"! I did not know that you were thirteen. You seem to write as if you were younger. Why can I not erase ink? I apologize for my crude use of words.
As for the theories, I do not believe that the first and third are believable enough. Houses are to large to effectively cast a spell upon, or, at least, so I have heard. As for the last, "super powers"? If you mean that we might be witches, I think that one of your parents has to be a witch already. Neither of my parents are witch-like in anyway. Most likely, the book is enchanted. It is just the right size to have the spell be wrapped around it several times over. Of course, it might be Divine Will, and our destinies are entwined so that we may do something great. Of course, if we tried to show somebody besides ourselves, I would be accused of witchcraft an be burned upon the stake. I do not know what would happen to you, but it would surely be severe!
I shall do my best to write back regularly. As you can see, I woke up early because I was anxious to see if you had written back, and now I am in no mood to sleep. I have a theory for deciding what is enchanted- be it us, the book, or the house. At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, take the book and go outside. Climb the oak tree by the front porch until you are hidden by the leaves, then write in the book. I shall be sitting on the high branch that makes a perfect seat with the book, and I will wait for you to finish writing. I have another theory to test.
"Peace out" to you as well, I suppose, though I am not sure what it means.
~Arabella of Belfast- no, just Arabella
