Practical Widow To Passionate Mistress - Plot & Excerpts
Dear Mrs Halgate, I regret that I have been unable to find any clues as to the whereabouts of your sisters. I can be clear on only three points: the facts that I communicated to you in my last letter, the fact that nothing is recorded under their names in any parish register for ten miles around and the certainty that they are nowhere in the vicarage or its adjoining buildings, which I must confess to entering and searching on Sunday last during morning service. I am in London now. I enquired at all the coaching inns receiving passengers from East Anglia, in case one or both went to London. However, at such a distance in time I have not been surprised to find no one remembers two young ladies amongst so many. I find myself detained by another, personal, matter, and will remain here at the Belle Sauvage on Ludgate Hill, where any correspondence will find me, for the foreseeable future. Yours etc… ‘Et cetera, et cetera,’ Meg murmured, refolding the letter. ‘Not good news?’ Mrs Harris topped up Meg’s tea cup.
