The Man behind the Mask

I am Pyramus in search of my Thisbe. Ariadne has invited me to a masked ball. Xavier has made this mask for me and I have Norma-Jean sewing me a jacket for which I found six delightful yellow buttons. The weather has turned fine and I am glad of it though I generally love the rain. The ball takes place this Saturday and I am very pleased to be going. I think there will be a lot of Ariadne's circus friends there. She has a friend called Hugo, a strongman, who she says may be able to teach me ventriloquism. Yesterday I ate turnips.
