"Are you always this forward?" He asked teasingly since it would be a very short thread if he just ignored her entirely. — Tobin Cartwright in Take A Peek
Did you know? Churchgoers and worshippers had to endure a foul stench during prayers due to the amount of bodies often stored within the vaults of churches and chapels.
A very happy St. Valentineââ¬â¢s Day to you! Be sure to tell any gentleman callers you might receive this yearââ¬âa pretty girl such as you surely has many admirers!ââ¬âthat they are not worthy, but do so nicely! I am sure you will manage. Included youââ¬â¢ll find a small box of fudge from Honeydukeââ¬â¢s; your brother has been sent his own, so do not believe him if he says he has not!
A small aside, your father has taken ill. Not to worry; Iââ¬â¢m sure he will recover in new timeââ¬âI just wanted to keep you up-to-date!
Mama,
Thank you for the fudge! Nigel can be so greedy. He's probably already eaten it all.
I've heard from one or two secret admirers - but I would never do anything to make you or Papa disappointed! I know how to be a proper lady, just like you.
Oh, I do hope Papa gets better soon, or I shall be very cross with him. Send him all my love, but only when he's better.

Kitty,
I am so dreadfully sorry to tell you this way, but I am unable to be there, that I might tell you in person.
On occasion, a mother must lie to her childââ¬âor at least stretch the truthââ¬âto keep burdens from landing on their shoulders. I was not, for example, wholly honest when I told you that your fatherââ¬â¢s condition was not dire. I did not, at the time, wish to worry you or Nigel, and I see now that this might not have been my best decision.
My darling, I am so sorry, but your father has passed away.
By all accounts it was a peaceful passing, and he has not felt any pain since taking ill some time ago. I shall, of course, explain matters to you truthfully when you return home, which will be before dinner tonight.
Your aunt Thalia will come for you; your uncle Prometheus did offer, but I thought it would be best to have someone more familiar.
