Dear Diary...

I wonder, did I make the right choice?

I mean, I know I should have been kind and helpful, in saving that girl from being persecuted by the church. I thought the whole Witch Hunt was strictly in the British Isles across the English Channel.

I didn't expect its influence stretched as far as my hometown in Poland.

However, ever since she came into my family's parlour, her behaviour is... too much for me. Not to mention, she as a habit of walking around... clothless.

This is a boarding house for boys. Even my little sisters' shouldn't admire her.

Now that I look back. She even increased the burden of my family's food supply.

From time to time, I asked myself: Should I have walked away from her instead?

................No. I couldn't.

Even if God allowed me to turn back time to make a better decision.

I would still pull that trembling Witch out of the barrel of rot and compost.

Or else her kitten eyes would have haunted me for the rest of my life.
