Dear Abby,
My life seems perfect here in England: I have a beautiful wife (you should see her golden locks!), a lovely daughter, a compassionate and hardworking father-in-law. I don’t want to lose my perfect life but something has come up from my past. One of my old servants at the Chateau of the Marquis needs my help in France. I am scared to travel in France with the Revolutionaries’ uprisings but I cannot let this man die on my account. However, I cannot leave my family. I cannot tell them either. My poor wife cannot handle that kind of stress; she has enough of her shoulders with the loss of our son. Oh, Abby, what do I do?
Sincerely,
Lost and Loving Husband

Long live the sound

Knowing little our value, (repeat)
Go, Louis, big crybaby,
From the the Temple into the tower.
The Swiss had promised, (repeat)
That they would fire our friends,
(repeat)
But how they have jumped!
How they have all danced!

She wishes to make a half turn,
(repeat)
She is sick at heart
To see herself without honor.
