Chapter 10

in which our heroine meets a crocodile

Miss Carlotta Stanton to Miss Emma-Louise Brockwin by Two-penny Post

My dear Emma-Lee,

last night’s ball was a rather pleasing affair, even though 1 of the gentlemen upset the punch bowl & ended up with his nice shirt & waistcoat stained a delicate pink. The ladle landed on the head of an old lady, who took it as an attempt on her life & left in a huff. Lady Frimsey was disconsolate.—Do you remember Miss P.’s warnings about Forming Hasty Attachments? It would seem that I have formed such a one (to Lord Ch., if you wonder), though I’d not call it hasty precisely. I suspect my regard exceeds even the stage of Warm Affection as I have found to my shock. No, not shock, but [scrawled out]. I feel as if my blood has suddenly turned into tiny little bugs crawling all around my veins. It is rather disconcerting, I confess.

Yrs, C.S.
