I can hardly believe it. I might actually be approved for funding. The board was so impressed by my presentations that they allowed me to demonstrate the effectiveness of my serum. Right now I have it so that the dosage is only temporary, so I showed them the difference by testing it on myself. Don't think me a total fool, I've done plenty of tests before this. I know the side effects and I think that I could make the effects perminent.
There were two more present today to witness the experiment. The Duke Fethirald and Lord Remus Deligade. They both seemed equally thrilled with the experiments and wanted me to continue. I'm not so sure I want the support of nobles outside of the board at St. Jude's Hospital. I could use the money though. I have enough to live on, but chemicals are expensive.
I paid a visit to Anna last night at the White Queen, an inn down by the peer. It's a cozy place though shady at times with all the sailors passing through. Ladies arn't safe in that part of town, but street urchents with a shilling or two are tolerated. I've been in thearter enough years, much to the displeasure of my mother and father, to know the finer art of male costume. It's easy enough to create a passable disguise and I love the freedom to roam the streets in peace. Rose knows my discuise by now as 'Wren Gillan'. We talked for hours about the state of our affairs until Rose brought up Lord Deligade.
"It's probably best ya don't mix with him" she said. "He's a vengeful sort and I don't want ta see you gettin' hurt." He's the one offering me finance though. I'm not sure what to do. My instincts have guided me true so far and I don't think he would try anything for fear of his reputation.
It doesn't matter right now. I haven't done anything to cross him. In the mean time, I have to continue with my work.
