Pearl Dear,

Fanny and I love the story about the fishermen! She is staying with me until Mrs Highbottom returns from the cure she is taking in Switzerland. We've played jacks and Old Maid until my eyes are quite crossed and parts of my personality have gone missing. So imagine how delighted we were to pore over your darling tale when it arrived this morning! We are so looking forward to the next installment!

Your Devoted Miss Blue
