N L L M W,
extraordinaire, had a delicious secret.
Her best friend was someone with whom she corresponded through
letters.
And he was a man.
Lu had no doubt he was a gentleman, but she could not know for sure,
for she’d never met him, nor did she know his full name. What’s more, she
did not want to know his full name. Because then, she’d have to reveal her
full name, and that she wouldn’t do. For that would mean the end of their
correspondence.

--- --- --- --- ---
Every respectable lady knew that it was excessively indecorous for a
lady to maintain a correspondence with a man with whom she was not
acquainted.
It was not proper.
It was not seemly.
It was simply not done.
Lady Ludmilla, the epitome of propriety and good conduct, did not care
a whit.
She tore the letters open before she reached her room, perused them on
the stairs and in the hallway, laughing out loud. Then she clasped a hand
over her mouth, because laughing out loud was frowned upon in Great Aunt
Mildred’s house in Bath. As was rushing up the stairs. One had to tread
quietly, preferably on tiptoes, avoiding the creaky upper stair, never slam a
door, never raise one’s voice, and never, heaven forbid, laugh. Because all
these things exacerbated Mildred’s migraine. And one did not, under any
circumstances, ever, want to do that.
Lu kept those letters secret from her aunt. She’d trained Hicks, the
butler, to deliver the missives to her directly, discreetly, and whenever Great
Aunt Mildred was not around.
On a rare occasion, she’d press the letter to her chest, with an odd smile
on her lips and a star in her eyes. Those letters, witty, infinitely charming,
understanding, and kind, were the only thing that made her life with her
aunt bearable. Her epistolary friendship added colour and spice to her
existence. She lived for those letters.
Three years ago, she’d written a letter to a former childhood friend,
Miss Susan Millsbury, who lived in Bruton Street, London, and who, she’d
learned, had recently married. Lu had written a letter of congratulations and
went off a tangent on a particular childhood memory that she and Susan
shared. It involved a monkey.
