The Book of Suitors
[Within this plain diary are glued letters from suitors seeking Jannath's affection] Madam, Please, you mustn't leave me in suspense. Tell me you'll be mine, or tell me all is lost. One or the other, or I'll not sleep another tenday. Jonah. Milady, I was dreadfully sorry to hear about your husband's demise and hoped you'd come calling sometime this tenday that I might convey my condolences to you in person. I've just received a lovely shipment of red from the south and thought it might be some consolation to you. Lord Haventh Dearest Madame, Might I come visit you on the morrow and pay my respects to your great house? It's been so long since I've had the privilege to sup tea at your side. Horatius
