Time is a Great Mistress

Dear Lady Crumpet,

The revival of our forgotten letters has made me dizzy beyond compare! It is like rediscovering a secret garden that you once spent many happy hours in as a child. To celebrate, this evening I sit at my table and drink a virgin mango/apple drink and toast to you. Still, I can't help being a little sad thinking of my time in The Northern Lands in your company and that of the good Lady Connor, she of the brown hair and gentle disposition. Oh but I miss those rejuvenating spirits we shared many an evening. Those tonics that delight and make a lady's troubles so much easier to bear. I particularly hold in fondness that concoction that claimed to raise the dead and that other that made me swoon so much, I almost fell out of my corset. I will not soon forget our time together, Lady Crumpet and will carry the memory of my visit to your wonderful home in my heart. It is also saved on digital media, which as you know forgets nothing. 

As for the Lady Percy and her manners, I do hope that you will soon find he as her identity is vexing me greatly. I cannot bear to think we have forgotten someone that a few years ago was so present in memory. 

Well, it is rather late now and I must go and join Lord Minor, who bid me adieu several hours ago. Being on a time not of London, it is rather difficult. as you can imagine. I hope in the next few days to be more myself again, as these things wear on a lady, especially when I do not have all my faculties intact. For example, tonight in passing, a man called out to ask me if I knew the time and for shame, I had to confess that I did not know. 

Not that we have rediscovered it anew, I hope we will endeavour to keep this correspondence alive, if only to have the chance to look upon it again in delight in another five years time.

Before I depart, let me share with you this link I found in the Museum of Lost Interactions. Fascinating, I assure you, as is this lovely timepiece below. Be well my dear Lady Crumpet. And please send my greetings to your new drink steward the Fireman!
