Trapped in a prison of her own making, Lady Lydia Farrell wrote the fifth and final draft of a letter from the confinement of her darkened bedchamber.

My Beloved Thomas,

As God is my witness, I truly never wanted to write this letter, nor did I wish you to receive it. You are the only person who has shown true devotion and compassion toward me during the past difficult year, and my behavior toward you in London was deplorable. I want you to know, however, that you were entirely blameless and in no way caused my petulant reaction to a chance encounter with someone from my past. This person was the instrument of my torture many years ago and I still bear the scars, both mental and physical, he inflicted. As long as he is alive, I cannot bear to live with myself.

Your last letter confirmed to me that I am taking the only course of action available to me. I cannot live with you, and Sir Montagu will put every obstacle in the way of our union. His visit earlier this week was to urge me to find a “suitable” husband so that I could produce an heir and save Boughton for future generations of my line. The thought of being sentenced, once more, to years of unhappiness and a loveless marriage bed is unbearable. While Sir Montagu cannot stop us legally, he will do everything he possibly can to thwart our marriage.

I have loved you from the moment I set eyes on you in your rooms in London, and always will. One day we will be together, forever, but it cannot be in this world, my beloved.

I shall always be with you.

Your ever-loving Lydia
