Dear Miss Bridgerton,

Your letter arrived this morning, and I confess I read it twice before setting quill to paper. There is a rare kindness in your words—not the polished sort one expects from Mayfair drawing rooms, but something +

London? You strike me as a lady unlikely to be content with the usual round of calls and balls. I should like to hear more of the pursuits that engage so lively a mind.

Dear Miss Bridgerton,

I received your kind letter from Bruton Street, and I must thank you most sincerely for your expressions of sympathy upon the loss of my wife, Marina.

Your words of comfort, coming as they do +

something of you—who you are, and what prompted you to write to a stranger and a widower in Gloucestershire. Perhaps Marina spoke of me once, long ago; perhaps not. In either case, your letter has brought me an unexpected measure of solace.
