_____________________________________________
Richard 的日记一开始就写爸爸生病了。 (fever)
他的爸爸已经奄奄一息了。
他妈妈叫他千万不能哭，他爸爸又叫他要照顾妈妈和 sister。
因为他是家里剩下的唯一一个男人了。
他觉得很难过，明明他是个小孩子却要他坚强，不能哭。
然后爸爸死了过后，
richard的妈咪 ， Lilith 就嫁给了 reverend coldstone。
这个冷石头职业是个牧师，但行为却很卑鄙
Richard不喜欢这个 Coldstone
他帮他取花名 - Black black bat (黑黑的蝙蝠)
* 因为他穿牧师袍时候很像蝙蝠
Coldstone看到 Richard很不喜欢他，就要驯服他。
Richard 当然不顺从啦
Coldstone 一生气就送他去一个住宿学校 (Mordanger boarding school)
学校名字看起来都那么危险了。
四年后，读完书了，Richard回家了。
他更讨厌 Coldstone 了，他觉得 Coldstone 很卑鄙。
他时常和 Coldstone吵架。
每次他们两个吵架时，
他的姐姐和妈咪都没有帮他。
他觉得自己在家里就很像一个陌生人、
每个人都跟 Coldstone 好，他被石头骂时都没人站出来帮他，他的姐姐/妹妹 - Charlotte 还叫他妥协，不要再跟 Coldstone 作对。
他觉得被家人背叛了， 他觉得家里的人都不爱他了。
他决定离家出走去航海
开始时，他先做水手 (cabin boy)
后来，他慢慢升职变成 Captain 船长
在他离家出走的这几年，他曾经偷偷回去在屋子外面看过他的家人2次。
因为他不敢面对他们。
其实，在他离家出走这几年，他的妈妈跟sister都疯了。
妈咪 Lilith 用很多钱找他。
Coldstone 不爽因为花了很多钱 (Coldstone很贪钱的)
后来， Lilith 妈咪心痛而死了。 (died due to heartbreak)
Richard的 sister - Charlotte 很爱Richard.
要继续找 Richard.
所以她嫁给了一个很有钱但她并不爱的男人。
因为这个男人答应给她钱去找 Richard.
最后， 他还是回家了。
他找到了一封Charlotte给他的信。
信里面说 ：“妈咪一直没有放弃过找你，每天都花很多钱找你。”
Richard 看了很感动，也很生气自己当初为什么离家出走。
他很内疚，因为害到妈妈心痛而死了，又害到姐姐嫁给不喜欢的人。
他觉得他误会了Charlotte和妈妈不爱他，其实他的妈妈和 Charlotte 还是很爱他的。
当 Coldstone 发现 Charlotte 给 Richard 的这封信时，他气死了。
Richard 继承了他的家 (Old Harwick Hall)
他很不确定他要留在家里还是消失回去航海。
日记到这里就停了
