Dear Reader,
He did not seem too angry, at least.

I know it was not my place to go running after him, but I... I was worried, admittedly. Worried in the way I always was for Johnny, so often. It got me into all kinds of messes in London, when I look upon it in retrospect. Curiosity killed the cat, as the saying goes. Johnny was never in charge of my actions, never my superior. Yet, I disobeyed Veld in finding him to search alongside.
How could I not be worried for him? He said so little in parting, and spoke in such vague terms. I am aware that this is the way for these people, and even still I was so inclined.
I cannot say why. I am glad, that he was not so angry as to leave me behind. I failed to heed his warning, as well. Mr. Sheridan often was too lax with me. Why, any other employer would've boxed my ears soon as he saw me, but I had grown far too accustomed to Mr. Sheridan's ways and as a result failed to recognize the consequences in my actions. Yes, I am most fortunate that he was not angry in my coming. Were he, I would probably have been left alone.
I should attempt to learn the area better in my spare time. At least so that my knowledge of this place is on par with that of my knowledge of London and Covenant Garden. I should spend more time with the map Marri and I....
I shouldn't take Marri's map. She worked so hard to write it, but it does not seem like she may ever need it again. I do hope, for her sake, she does not. It would seem a dreadful thing to be pulled away from your family twice, although I suppose some of the people here are also her friends, as they have all come from the same place. If only -- but, no, how could I even start to wish such a fate on my friends? That paints me in such a selfish manner. Although if only I had some kind contact or way to know how they were, perhaps my heart would be still.
