The office (mansion) is quiet.

Everyone has left for the party at Federation Square (ball at the Palace).

I’m not going (can’t go).

I booked myself into an Engineers Australia workshop (My step-sisters and step-mother laughed when I asked if I could go). No party (ball) for me.

Can’t concentrate (It hurts inside). Still have half an hour to work (I’m a slave).

Argh (Weep).
