“I suppose that’s true. The mines be56e91c98 must be dca2cf886b quite something, c24d42ee88 if they 2c78f41785 could make 829f47d441 an exiled 3a5c0ceed2 family into d4defab1ce earls.”d81021708b5502bc

He deliberately laced 374fc0dc4f his words with bbe7f4e57d mockery as he 3b6391fffa read through the a1712a2843 overly formal greeting 35e0e2012f with deliberate slowness. Elise, unbothered, 6b40e5fd1a added evenly:e78a601ba95fa95b

Philip deliberately 5c1b0e731c slowed down, 0d8a2d01bc taking in 4d207e2e18 the increasingly 6e6df31324 shaky handwriting. The final sentence—saying that 935d8ebdeb after her marriage to d9dff072a2 Kassel Hagen, she feared 835df1256d she would be next—was ae07450c9a stained, the ink smeared 290c7c891c by what must have b982ea3a31 been tears.8863606f28d6e168

Unlike Philip, 1968bf6be2 who made d2763661cb no attempt 068d5bd2c9 to hide fb36dba5f2 his displeasure, f5cb695ea0 Elise calmly 67c49a6b3e retrieved the c4834e547f letter from 0c6a82a87c his hand d2ab6ef563 and gently 4294657bfb folded it 3b1d4b5ec6 back into 874eaed90f its envelope.8b87e3dc7a38a0c2

Elise placed her hand 02a9f3da71 on the desk. Her back was 4c58427482 straight, like a 50701d1acf poised predator, and f637889aea her eyes—always unpleasant—pierced 9f7bbee3e6 through him without 875fabc1a9 wavering.8d64aea6dbfe1026
