Dear Mama and Papa, I am writing from aboard the Adriatic after casting off from Charna. We had an uneventful trip to Charna, but we did stay in The Martial Hotel when we were in Raymar. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to living like this. I met a very close friend of Theodore’s, a Mr Charles Buckley; he has been very nice and I have a friend – her name is Sabhena. She’s supposed to be my slave but I don’t believe in slaves so I’m paying her in other ways like clothes and kindness just like you always taught me. Thank you so much for my locket. It’s the best present you could ever have gotten me. All your faces will be close to my heart until I see you again. I hope the twins and little Tommy are behaving. I know it’s not been long but I miss you all so much. Granny must be beside her
