A Chance to Scold

[Ligeia Baudelaire]

January 17 1886

Dearest Tiggy,

First of all, I’m extremely proud of your second successful human transfiguration on Miss Ellory Pendergast. It was sad that I wasn’t able to watch such a show. I do hope the silly girl didn’t do anything permanent to you. As your sister, I would hate to see your face turned ugly.

While I’m pleased to know of your talent, next time do it in private or try to use a maid as your guinea pig. You are a Slytherin after all. I’m sure you are capable of making mischief anonymously.
Mama had been hysteric since she heard of the rumour after a visit at The Lady Morgana with me..  I’m sure you’ve already been rebuked by your husband or by maybe Mrs. Pendergast herself. But for the last time, you are a married woman. Act like one.

I do hope you and your husband are well. Are you expecting a child yet? You must visit me again dearest sister. I terribly missy our company. You are my favorite sister after all.

Fondly,
Ligeia

Ligeia,

Whatever chastisement I've received is nothing compared to Ellory Pendergast's, she attacked me first, I only returned the favor.

Instead of telling me how to behave as a married woman, perhaps you should be trying to find yourself a husband so you don't die a lonely old spinster. You'll have to rely on Léonie's kindness to keep you housed once Mama and Papa die because I won't take you in.

The only thing I'm expecting right now is for you to still be unmarried in 1890.  

Maybe if you weren't so patronizing you'd find someone.

Dearest Sister,

It’s not that I want to reprimand you sister. I just wish that you wouldn’t soil the Baudelaire name. If you keep that up, I shall never ever find a husband. I thought you cared for my future.

That is awfully kind of you to offer Antigone. I hardly want to live with you and become a nanny. I would much prefer to stay at lovely Luxembourg* than stay with the awful weather of Britain.  Are you sure you don’t want to take care of old spinster me? I've proven to be such a lovely company during our younger days.

Well then I shall expect you to become a worn out and wrinkled wife by that year. I’ve heard having children is quite stressful.  

Me patronizing? I could say the same thing to you Antigone. You’re hardly in a better position than me because of your recent act. And whether you like it or not, I’m still older than you. Please keep that in mind

Your Sister,
Ligeia
