Lieutenant L'Hopital BEWARE!!

[Monique Adelina De'Ath]

Mon cher Maurice,

Have you taken leave of your senses dear chap?!! Mlle Calvert....that ...that...woman....it pains me to even mention her name....don't do it man, utter madness she'll drain your pockets in no time and consign you to an everlasting schedule of masses and scripture readings. A fine virile young fellow like you will experience nothing but frustration and a reduction in eyesight - believe me I've been there...actually, let me re-phrase that...I've endured that - and the Ladies Slipper is a far wiser choice, or a common bawdyhouse or, indeed, anything else at all.

Consider it a blessing she rejected you (I assume you failed to turn up with a bible and heaps of cash) and pursue the path of love elsewhere.

Your friend,

Bastian

Most Amazing Dr. De’Ath,

She shunned me! She does not even know me and she turned me down before I could even introduce myself! I am a son of a Duc! His first son at that! Perhaps I will inherit my father’s title. Why would any woman turn down the prospect of such a match out of hand? Obviously she suffers from a disease of the mind. My question is was she this crazy when you began courting her or is this a byproduct of your effect upon her?

With Much Affection for My Good Friend,

Maurice

Cher Maurice,

They do say hindsight is a wonderful thing and if I had known in advance just what a complete nightmare she was I would never had become involved with her in the first place!

AT least my traumatic experience can act as a warning for others and I, as said before, consider you most fortunate to have avoided her. In answer to your question as to was she this crazy when the courting began, yes but she hid it well and despite the best of my medical attempts I was unable to change her, clearly her's is a disease of the mind and beyond my abilities as a physician who deals with ailments of the flesh.

Sincere regards,

Bastian
