Chapter 12

My dear Miss Hunt,

You will not credit how relieved I was to receive your letter. I feared I had ruined any chance I had at gaining your good opinion with my actions. I know well how easy it would be to perceive what I have done in the light Mr Burton has presented it and I am humbled by your belief in me, if you can imagine such an unlikely thing. I confess no one has ever achieved it before. Only you.

I enclose the address of the charitable foundation you enquired about. It is admirably run by Mr Bernard Wheatcroft. I am certain he would be pleased to hear from you.

I will not deny that I am happy to have ruined Mr Burton’s chances with you. I am wholeheartedly glad to have done so. I promise you that if he ever has the misfortune to cross my path, I shall make him pay for having abused you so, the vile wretch. I don’t believe it can come as a surprise to you that I have disliked him from the outset. Whilst I cannot pretend that my personal feelings have not played a part in my animosity, it was by far the only reason. My only regret is that I have caused you a moment’s pain. For that I do have regrets, and yet I would not change what I have done. I hope you can forgive me that. I have seen men do wicked and horrifying things during my life, but what I discovered in those mills will haunt me the rest of my days.

I think of you more than I ought, Miss Hunt. I would see you again. If you would allow it.

―Excerpt of a letter from The Most Honourable Lucian Barrington, Marquess of Montagu to Miss Matilda Hunt.
