    Kitty,

    A very happy St. Valentine’s Day to you! Be sure to tell any gentleman callers you might receive this year—a pretty girl such as you surely has many admirers!—that they are not worthy, but do so nicely! I am sure you will manage. Included you’ll find a small box of fudge from Honeyduke’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; I’m sure he will recover in new time—I just wanted to keep you up-to-date!

    With love,

    Mama

    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.

    Love,
    Kitty

    The exterior of the letter has “Read in Private” jotted neatly at the bottom of the envelope.

    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 child—or at least stretch the truth—to keep burdens from landing on their shoulders. I was not, for example, wholly honest when I told you that your father’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.

    With love and regret,

    Mama

    The parchment is blotted and smeared with ink, with the script much shakier than her previous letter.

    Mama,
    Why didn't you

    I can't

    I wish

    I want to see Papa.

    I'll be ready to go when Aunt Thalia comes.


    Love,
    Kitty
