r shoulder and snickered cruel words to her nem
The days of Christmas passed into January 1916. Elsa admired her new Cheap NBA Jerseys Wholesale , palm-size figurine, another collectable residing on her desk. The memento was a miniature piano formed of crystal glass--a Christmas Eve gift that Grant had given her.

The gift Grant selected flattered her--such a meaningful gift. It was perfect. It moved her. But as she sat at her desk adoring the transparent luster of the miniature figurine, she grieved, for her brush with romance had filled her with uncertainty again. This confusion about her life was so bewildering, as she had always seen her future very clearly. Perhaps a reclusive stroll through the park where she could find counsel with herself would clear her mind some. It had been months since she last visited the place.

Elsa stepped outside on an early hour of a cold January morning. The chilled winter air greeted her. The sky was overcast white. Elsa passed through the rigid bars of the iron gate, then tucked her hands inside her warm Cheap NBA Jerseys Online , mink fur muffler while a thick, knitted scarf shielded her neck.

After a short walk through the neighborhood streets, Elsa set foot upon the white grounds of Willow Park. The vast acreage of the place was deserted. The trees stood frozen, their twisted branches barren. She listened to the silence about her. A great calm filled the air. All was quiet. As she began walking upon the snow-covered path, her eyes surveyed the frost-covered branches of the sleeping willows. She embraced the peace knowing that the pounding of music ringing in her ears and noisy school halls echoing with chatter was only days away. As she strolled by herself over the snow-covered pathways, she couldn't find answers to the dilemma that plagued her mind.

Elsa resumed her studies at the University of Kingston. Her spirits remained dismal like the gray clouds hovering low over Kingston. Her busy schedule Cheap NBA Jerseys From China , which included an important music final exam, was hindered by a weighty matter that could not be delayed any longer. She owed Grant an explanation for not writing sooner.

Elsa reluctantly wrote a very painful letter to the young man whom she so fondly admired. When she finally mailed it off, Elsa pushed hard to forget him altogether.

Meanwhile, in Boston, Grant found himself in the shadows of Elsa's silence once again; his daily trip to the post office always resulted in emptiness. Finally, one month after Christmas Cheap NBA Jerseys China , a letter arrived in his mail slot.

Thursday, January 20, 1916

Dear Grant,

Thank you for the gift ... it is lovely.
I should have written to you sooner. The day following Christmas, I stared at a blank page in my dairy for almost an hour and didn't know what to write. As I sat at my desk, I realized that I may have been too hasty when I left you the note on my front door during Thanksgiving.
Our time on the icy pond was truly romantic. But when the dawn of Christmas morning arrived Cheap NBA Jerseys , something inside of me regressed. Concerning relationships, courting is a delicate matter which can be terribly complicated. If one such as I engage in courting on one hand and manage the affairs of my life on the other, there is a careful balance that must be well maintained. I would be like a performer walking a tight rope--balancing her life with a pole. She must keep an eye on her destination and be stalwart enough to remain well balanced in order to reach her intention without falling off. As I mentioned, my world is quite arduous with my dream of teaching music and all that requires of me. I feel courting may have besetting consequences on my future. I'm afraid of losing a part of my life that I love.

Grant, I wish not to discourage you; neither do I say that your calling must come to an end. Please take my words well--and with understanding.

Respectfully,

Elsa

Elsa's agenda Cheap Jerseys Wholesale , busy with class studies, pushed into early February. She did well on her midterm exams, but her final in music received criticism from her professor, Mr. Hodges. Her modern style, the veteran professor told her, would not be favorably accepted in the music world. Ingrid Bowers Cheap Jerseys Online , a classmate who'd known Elsa since the ninth grade, had been a thorn in her side. Ingrid played the classics well, but lacked the talent for composition, which was something that Elsa did with ease. After the music professor made his blunt assessment of Elsa's work, Ingrid looked over her shoulder and snickered cruel words to her nemesis.

Since the start of the new year, Madeline had noticed that her reclusive daughter was overly quiet and distant. Her spirit seemed downtrodden Cheap Jerseys From China , burdened with emotional perplexity since Grant's visit. A silent storm churned within her. Elsa remained confused; her normal contentment and focus were lost.

When Elsa came home from school one day, her mother sought to speak with her. Elsa had already retreated to her room, ruminating on an English paper, when a gentle nock sounded on the door.

"Elsa," her mother beckoned, "may I come in?"

"Yes Cheap Jerseys China , Mother."

Her mother, indeed, knew of Elsa's shifting moods for Grant. She gave her daughter the time and space needed to sort out her feelings, but it was time to clear the air. Madeline opened the door and entered Elsa's room.

"Dear, I would like to speak with you." The care and concern in her mother's voice touched Elsa. "Sit here with me on the bed."

Elsa capped her fountain pen and sat next to her mother, though she wished not to delve into her confused state of mind.

"Elsa Cheap Jerseys , I've noticed that you've been extra quiet since Christmas. Is there anything bothering you?"

Elsa was silent. She did not know which set of problems burdening her soul her loving mother had noticed in her demeanor. After a brief pause, all Elsa could say was "No, Mother." Her head hung low; she was unable to make eye contact.

"Are you sure, dear?" her mother asked sympat .
