The Call of the Bittern?! (1)

I think I have the most exciting thing to report but it will take me nearly a week to get it written in the way I half have it in my mind; because it also concerns a sweet boy that I want to write right, and I have so much work on. So if you chance on this, please bear with me. And I might be gone a year, not a week.

Tonight it rains and rains and rains.
