   Today was an important morning for Juliet and I. This morning sometime, Lady Capulet called us both into Juliet's sleeping chamber. She wished for me to leave, but then called me back to talk for her instead, which isn't surprising since even though Lady Capulet birthed Juliet, I was the one who raised her. I was not exactly sure of Lady Capulet's intentions, but soon it became clear. It turns out, the Prince's Kingsman, Paris, asked for Juliet's hand in marriage. Her father believes that Juliet should wait two summers, since she is still a child at almost 14 years, but her mother insisted that she get married, since other girls in this fair city have already become mothers of their own. Juliet said that she'd try to look at him and like him, but only if he was likeable. I personally think the valiant Paris would make a grand husband, and I'm so excited that he wants my own little Juliet! I couldn't imagine Juliet not wanting to be his bride, but of course, I only want her to marry for herself, for love. In my opinion, he's as perfect as if he were sculpted of wax, there is no fairer flower in Verona than him.
   Tonight I will be watching over Juliet at the Capulet's annual feast, and I believe Capulet invited Paris himself! Now I must go, Juliet needs to get ready to make a good impression on her suitor.
