Entry Two

Is it just me or has Juliet been acting rather strange lately? She has been smiling uncontrollably ever since the party ended. Could it be that Paris finally got through to her?

                After the party, I saw Juliet talking to herself on the balcony just outside of her bedroom. Sadly, she was too far for me to hear what she was saying. Then the strangest thing happened. It appeared as if she was talking to the bushes underneath her balcony. I could see her stop talking, wait for whatever was down there to respond, and then answer. What drives a teenage girl to do that these days is beyond me. I bet Paris snuck out of home in the middle of the night just to talk to her. Wouldn’t that be so romantic? Oh, this is so exciting! It seems like something straight out of a Shakespeare play! But anyway, back to my story.

I noticed the nurse’s absence at around 9 a.m. the following morning, when she wasn’t there to change my sheets. Then, when I went outside to look for her, I saw her talking to a young man dressed in garish clothing. I went to my room to make myself presentable, but by the time I got back, he was gone. Instead, I found the nurse talking to a frustrated Juliet. I was on my way to go ask what had happened, when my husband comes to me and asks who should be invited to Juliet’s wedding. After I tell him that he should ask me some other time, Juliet is gone. Ever since then, I haven’t stopped looking for her. Have you seen her? Lord Capulet and I are willing to offer 200 shillings to someone who can tell us of Juliet's location.
