To: My friends (?) in Paris,
Well, I hate to say it BUT Josey-wosey and me were a tad disappointed following our open house invite last month because absolutely NO-ONE.....NO-ONE....I can't stress the NO-ONE enough here...actually turned up! I mean, what the heck, it was all free, it was at the home of the Commissioner of Public Safety, it would have only taken a mere 1 week of your month......YET not even ONE of you could bother to turn up....
I know you're my friends but I can only tell you that dear Josey-wosey was fuming, especially after he laid on a superb buffet and pulled out all the stops for an absolutely splendid party. You should have heard him curse and mutter about that miserable Lord Huillaume....stuck up so and so.....likewise Lord Bougiedure......Lord Balls and a host of other names......I was going to try and placate him but he stormed off ranting about arrest warrants and ungrateful b'stards.....who knows what his mood will result in....

au Paris 1 le septembre
mademoiselle De'Ath,
I am so regretful to have missed the chevalier's open house! I cannot convey my absolute horror at having failed so poorly to manage my calendar.
I am ever thankful that our paths at least crossed at Lord Balls' soiree earlier, and the good chevalier Vendredi's too. I recall and appreciate your kindness when I first arrived in Paris this summer and my shame is all the deeper for it.
Sincerely begging your forgiveness, Arnautz Lete

Sincerely begging your forgiveness, Arnautz Lete Lieut Lete, Well, since you have been the only who has actually taken the time to proffer an apology I believe that can be accepted and I shall tell darling José-wosey to burn that warranty thing I saw him fill out after the dinner. As I say he was soooooo annoyed, especially about all the food that was wasted, I didn't think I'd be able to calm him down what with all his ranting and raving over ungrateful b'stards or whatever it was he was raging. Still, time can be a wonderful healer and he seems to have recomposed himself now....mind I occasionally overhear him muttering about a Priest and some woman or other, something to do with spying I think.....these latter two may not find José-wosey quite so forgiving as he has been towards you and others. Good luck in your career you man and perhaps our paths may meet in the future. Monique Adelina De'Ath |

mademoiselle De'Ath,
I fear you forgive my indiscretion too quickly. I owe you and the chevalier more than a mere "je suis désolé." If it would help the chevalier in the execution of his duties as our Commissioner of Public Safety, I am prepared to assist as I can to serve witness to any threat against our beloved country.
In earnest, your servant, Arnautz Lete

Cher Lieut Lete, Hmmmh.....a most interesting offer.....I shall be sure to inform Commissioner José of such as I'm aware that he is need of a reliable and efficient man who can keep both eyes and ears open for the security of France. Yes, leave that with me Lieutenant and I'll be sure to have a word with him about you. Now, just think how better it would be for your prospects of employment and gaining the favour of our beloved Commissioner of Public Safety if that very word were to be a good one from me! You see I have this little 'job' that needs completing after the last individuals that I entrusted it to went and messed the whole thing up, big time!! However, a man of your profession, a soldier, a cavalryman even....titter...blush....giggle....and I hear cavalrymen have such 'big weapons'...would be just the right one to carry this off for me. There's this terrible woman, an English Spy no less, who is also rumoured to be a Witch since she has entrapped a local Priest with her spells and magics....she's the one that needs to be taken 'care of', still I better not be too open about things so just let me know when you're free to undertake the task and I'll communicate to you privately all the details. I'll be extremely grateful if you succeed in this Lieutenant, and I mean EXTREMELY grateful...I think a man of the world like yourself needs no further clarity on that  ....plus, of course, José will receive the finest character reference about you, from me and you'll also be doing France a great service to by 'neutralising' this dual Spy / Witch threat. I can't wait to hear back from you, Monique Adelina De'Ath A lady of Class & Refinement Personal Secretary to Grand Duchess de Chevreuse Mistress to Chevalier José Vendredi, Commissioner of Public Safety P.S I mentioned this English Spy / Witch woman has entrapped a local Priest, well if possible try not to include him in the job but, if it can't be avoided, c'est la vie! I have warned the fellow before so it's not that he hasn't had his chances. |
