Duca : Cheska to Amelia

Dearest Amelia, Ah! My darling Amelia, how is it that a heart can be simultaneously warmed and frozen at the same time? So brave and true of you to defend me, but your reputation with the ton! My dearest, most beloved Melly, you mustn’t ruin your chances on my account, I simply will not stand [...]

A Strange Meeting: Amelia to Cheska

Dearest Cheska: After reading your last letter, I discovered one can screech enough to crack glass.  Mother may demand another vase, but rest assured it will come out of my allowance and I made no mentioned of what caused me to create such a cacophony.  Of course she pressed, but I made a comment of [...]

Paper Wasp : Cheska to Amelia

Dearest Amelia, Ah! If you only you were here, I would catch you up in my arms and spin giddy circles until such time as you laughingly cried “Fie!” I would, truly I would! Thank you, a thousand times, thank you, for sending me the missing book! Ah, you are a saint! An angel! A [...]

The Symbol : Cheska to Amelia

Weathering a Storm: Amelia to Cheska

Hello Dearheart: Only threw him into the canal?  Shameful, I would have wished your paper tiger had at least made a meal of the gentleman’s – I use the term loosely- breaches. Why is it Cheska, toms feel the right to maul every female unfortunate enough to cross their path?  However, we as ladies must [...]

Paper Tiger : Cheska To Amelia

Dearest Amelia, You must believe me when I say it was not my fault that I dumped the Conte Brasso into the canals! Oh, why do these things always happen to me? It’s never my fault and yet it’s always my fault! Just thinking of it fair sets my fur on end! Even now, I [...]
