Rose now recognized both the writing style and the typeface. The author of this notice was the creator of the Languor County Watcher. She folded the paper and stuffed it in her pocket. She riffled through the pages to see if they were all the same. Wedged underneath the bottom page was a smaller, yellowed piece of paper, handwritten, with one ragged edge, as if it had been ripped from a pamphlet or book of some sort. She skimmed through it.

Sweet Faithfull died in her sleep last night. The Infirmary sisters attended her at the end, and Evangeline said it was a gentle death, that her heart simply gave out, but she said that only to soothe my pain. There was no need. My pain is soothed by anger, for I know the truth, that she did not die gently. She was taken from her body while it was still strong and beautiful. My own heart is spent, but I will live on anger the rest of my days. And though it may take the rest of my days, I will bring to justice the man who did this.

Richard is only a boy, but I can tell he suspects something, too. I can see it in the way he holds back and watches everyone. He must know his mother was strong and full of health and would never have slipped away in her sleep. When the time comes, he will be an ally. And the time will come.
