You havn’t had an update on Hen for a few weeks. The truth is things havn’t been running entirely smoothly in the coop – Hen’s world. Don’t get me wrong. The long term plan which features a dashing Argentinian polo-player and a blissful life on an estancia is firmly in place, but her year didn’t get off to a great start when she forgot to take her uniform back to school and I sense it has been a struggle since then. I have just received an email from her (see below) having berated her for falling foul of the authorities yet again. She returned to her house 25 minutes after curfew her excuse apparently that she had been counseling (not consoling ) a boy who had just been “dumped” by his girl-friend. Punishment for this was being “gated”. Whilst everyone else is out enjoying the delights of Rugby town centre Henrietta has to stay in her house, time that should really be spent catching up on schoolwork or reading Jane Austen novels. “Gation” is not a term I have found in the OED, but I presume it is a word invented by Hen meaning “the state of being gated”.
(gation is not good for me... ive taken to tidying peoples wardrobes, talking to myself and sorting out peoples earrings!) xxxxxxxxxx
