To Lord Avon, Arrives afternoon of 11th

[Mirtel Hardwick]

The letter was adorned with Mritel Christabel's lozenge, the parchment gently scented with parfume of lavender and lemongrass.

Dear Lord Avon,

How have you been? Enjoying all the festives Windsor offers us within it's autumn splendour?

I have also told you a lo about my brother's prowess with paints and now would also have a chance to allow you to see it with yourself. A lovely little view within Her Majesty's waiting room if you would enjoy a look.

With warmest regard,
Mirtel Christabel Hardwick
Lady Mirtel

[Fluff]

A bouquet of white roses arrived the next morning, together with a little card:

Milady,

Your brother's work shows a lot of potential, doing justice to Her Majesty's chambers. I find myself intrigued as to his other work. In fact I was hoping that I might be allowed to visit his studio. If you could assist in arranging it at some future date, when we are not all busy with the preparations of the main event, I would be grateful.

Your Servant

Edward de Courtnay, Earl of Avon
