A Teanager's Diary

Nicholas was very much a spoiled rich boy. He liked pleasing people and being pleased by people. During these years he enjoyed hanging out with his aunt ella, who was really just a few years older than he was. But when her little sister, alex, came back for a second visit to russia in 18 89, nicky was around all the time. And this is when we have him writing in his diary that one day he's going to marry alex. Now she was not so sure about this because she was a devout lutheran - marrying nicholas came with the price of conversion to orthodoxy. So they just flirted and enjoyed each other's company
