June 20th,1911

 Dear diary,
Now I am living in Morgan Terrace. When I told Gerald I was going to be turned out of the back room where I was living because I couldn´t pay the rent, he offered to lend me this room. It is not his. It belongs to one of his friends. I am so grateful! This place is much better than all the rooms I used to rent. It is prettier, and bigger and it has a nice view of the city. I´ve never lived in such a beautiful place before! I am so comfortable here!

Unluckily, I fear this relationship is doomed to fail. I have discovered that Gerald is far too rich to marry a country girl with no connections, like I am. We are just lovers, but he has no intention to introduce me to his family or friends. This is very painful for me. I love him, but I see he has no intention to marry me. I try to enjoy the moment and not to think of the future.

Anyway, I am saving all the money he is giving me. I fear one day he will leave me to marry an upper class girl. His parents would never approve of a wedding with a girl of my class. How cruel the world is when you are born poor. You don´t even have the right to marry the man you love...
