Edmund And Lucy's Monologue

Hello Fionnula! How have you been after this long, long time? How are little Edmund and Lucy getting long? I know it has been tough for you ever since James was taken by the Black Plague, raising those children by yourself. If it’s any constellation I think you did a marvelous job, and I pray that neither you or your children that you have not attracted any horrid diseases. All sorts of plagues have hit us these last few months so I began to worry about you. Do you remember your old friend, Susan? She contracted the most terrible of diseases, smallpox. First she lost her sight, I thought that was the worst of it. I then visited her to see how she was getting along but she had contracted Tuberculosis and died. Enough of the sad stuff, I am not writing you just to make you sad.
How about those two beautiful children you have? If I remember correctly Lucy is 23? Getting close to marrying age, 24 is it? I hope she is going to make a wise choice or I hope that you are influence her decision a little, better make sure you get something out of this marriage. But remember, she has her say as well, she has to love him very much. Also, how is that lovely lady that your son married? Kasandra was her name, my only wish is that Edmund doesn’t become stricken with disease and leave that poor women to be shunned. It would be terrible if she was to raise that boy of theirs all alone especially after having to rush the wedding to prevent him becoming a bastard
