Awkward Owls

[Antonia Greyback]

Sent in a pretty white envelope, of expensive paper, with the Greyback chrest sealing the letter closed with dark blue wax.  It is not a howler, and contains no curses of hexs.  

Miss Dippet,
I never thought I would have to send a letter such as this, certainly not to a young lady in so precarious a social position as yourself.  Your foolish, rash, and slanderous accusations against my person will not go unchallenged and I will admit to thinking you of better sense and character than this current conduct.  

You who was raised in penury, you who points a finger at me for wishing to better the lives of my fellow men and who feels the need to slander the character of a fellow female. There is an old addage my dear that people in glass houses should not throw stones and a woman with a mad mother, and questinable social background should know when to mind her P's and Q's when it comes to casting unfounded aspersions on the character and conduct of others.  

Those who know me well would know that my love and loyalty to my family are limitless, as it is to my friends, a designiation an ill natured girl such as yourself will never get from anyone of true charachter, taste, or breeding.  I wish you well in life my dear, for so ill an aspect, so haughty a mein, and so vindictive and harsh a nature will never lead you down the road to happiness only to cold false friends and a life of dread suspicion.  

I leave you no regards for you hold yourself high enough.

Mrs. Antonia Greyback
