My Dear Miss Evans,
I write to you in solitude, as I just got news that your husband passed away. I offer my condolences in your time of grief, and wish for your tears to dry at the earliest convenience. Mr. Evans was truly a delight, and I enjoyed our talks together on Sunday afternoons, as you would bring two cups of tea and a light snack in the garden, your smile always so radiant. The letters we exchanged during times of long departure, my dear, I have always enjoyed. May your husband rest in peace, I remember your wedding as if it was yesterday, the food, the music, the guests, it was all so wonderful. May your husband rest, indeed, but may you live happier now. There is no need to hide under this tearful facade of sorrow, for it wouldn’t suit your image very well. I expect you in your most beautiful gown at the next dinner party, if you would be so bold, my dear Annette. The way you hold up your own against the rest of the wicked world, I have always admired. I hope my next visit is to see you again, as beautiful as ever. If you need any help with your late husband’s funeral, you do know who to call, as I am at your service, as I was for the last 10 years.
Yours truly, devoted,
Sir Trevor McColl
My Dearest Mister McColl,
I thank you kindly for your letter. Yes, I am indeed doing better, your inquiry was most welcomed. I remember those days as well, in the past, that is. My husband was a wonderful man, I agree, and I will do my utmost duty to keep him in best memoriam. I would love nothing more than to host a party in the near future, and I would certainly love to see you there as well, Mr. McColl. I would hope for my tears not to ruin my make-up, or the hours preparing it would be wasted, wouldn’t you think so? I thank you for realizing my strength after all these years, but I must say, my beauty is not the most in value to me, indeed. I graciously take up your offer to help me with the funeral, my dear, as I did all those years ago as well.
Sincerely, truly,
Miss Annette Carolyn
