My  Dearest Catherine, I believe that I do not exaggerate when I write that as Woodville, Captain Bryson and I  stood upon the threshold faced by the imposter in the footman’s guise I was so astonished at being so wholly caught out that I was quite ready to cast myself into apoplectic despair.  However afore I could abandon my senses thus Woodville addressed the fellow.

“It is Lord and Lady John Smith,” said he, then he indicated Captain Bryson and continued “Robert, … Smith, he is Smith also. ” Said he after a moments hesitation.  Catherine sometimes I wonder at Woodville’s inability to devise suasive names, why summoning to mind an Austen, a Bennet or even a Woodhouse is beyond him I know not.

My dearest Catherine,

I stood in that darkened dungeon amid the odours and mewls of theses pretenders, for pirates they indubitably were not. In the still dancing light of the torch I saw Woodville’s complexion alter from the handsome hue I so ardently adore to one akin to parchment that has been allowed to be faded by the sun.
