Casebook Entry # 1

Dear Journal,

Unfortunately there is nothing new to report. No mysteries have made themselves apparent as of late, which is exceedingly disappointing considering a distraction would be welcome at the present time. My most unenjoyable cousins, the triplets, are passing an extended weekend at Whittleworth Manor and they have already exhausted their welcome, though their arrival was yesterday and I must bear their company for yet another two days.
It is a thing of great difficulty, the mere attempt to make conversation with the three miscreants who seem to ba continuosly finding new ways to disrupt the order of the estate with all forms of mischeif making. To be entirely honest, I am barely acquainted with my cousins at all, and if I may be so bold I’d like to articulate my most dear desire of being even less acquainted with them as I am now, if such a thing were possible.
Mother, of course, prods me to make every possible effort to ameliorate our relations. Grown tired of her constant badgeirng, I am doing my best to grant her wishes. The fact that she has promised a new Tri-Centric telescope in exchange for my efforts offers further motivation. I will keep you updated on further developments.
Yours,
Wembsleydale
