StarDate 2274.19.10, Susan told me that the romance between Katherine and Lord David William Beck Earl of Essex Territory is going well.
Susan is the first one with all the latest news and she loves to share the news with everyone. She is the biggest gossiper.
Susan rode over on horseback to see me,

and naturally I welcomed her and she walked up to me and she hugged me and I hugged her back.

"Karissa, Karissa. I got news to share." Susan told me.
"You would be the one to share with me." I told Susan.
"What is the news?" I asked
"You know Katherine has been seeing Lord David William Beck, Earl of Essex Territory. It is really getting serious. She told me that Lord David William Beck has asked her to marry him." Susan told me.
"I knew they were seeing each other but Katherine told me she didn't want to rush anything." I explain to Susan.
"It must have advanced. They are perfect for each other and they will compliment each other in the best ways." I told Susan.
"What about Lord Richard Edward Howard The Second and you, Susan?" I ask her.
"We are seeing each other, but I am still not certain I want to marry into the damn aristocracy.' Susan told me.
"There is nothing on Star Base 12 but the Aristocracy." I have explained, "You don't have much of a choice unless you can snag a young gorgeous Starfleet Space Cadet." I told him.
"You can always go to StarFleet Academy and see what is available there in the upcoming graduating class." I told her.
Susan is thoughtful and she told me "I may just do that."
"How is Lord Andrew?" Susan asks me.
"He is in his office drowning in paperwork." I told Susan.
"How is Lady Elizabeth?" Susan asks me.
"Lady Elizabeth is fine. She is with her nanny Barbara in the nursery." I told her.
"Every time Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR comes to visit he comes to see his golden hair heiress, and he ignores Lord Andrew Charles and he looks at his father and his father tells him " He is a grown man and The Duke of Norfolk Territory." I told Susan.
"The only reason Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR comes to Beltane Manor from York Territory is to check up on his golden hair heiress." I told Susan.
"You must admit he is the doting grandfather." Susan told me.
"How many times has Lord Andrew Charles visited the nursery since Lady Elizabeth was born? Susan asks me.
"Not that often as he is very busy." I explained.
"He does go upstairs and check on our daughter." I told Susan.
"Hey I got your invitation to The Samhain Masquerade. It is going to be such great fun to be able to dance." Susan told me.
"Lord Richard Edward The Second will be escorting me to the Masquerade." I explain to Susan.
"I am glad to hear it." I told her.
"I can hardly wait. Do you plan to have one for Yuletide?" Susan asks me.
"We may have one for the first day of Yuletide and for the final day of Yuletide on December 31 into the Georgian New Year." I told her.
"You know December 21 is both Lord Andrew Charles 25th birthday and Lord David William Beck's 23rd birthday." I told her.
"We will have a double birthday celebration." I told Susan.
"There is Thanksgiving Day. We will all celebrate it together." I told Susan.
Susan and I walk into the drawing room in Beltane Manor and we start to gossip with each other.
