My dearest Grand Duc Bougiedure,
Since taking up the kind offer of employment as your beloved wife's Personal Secretary, I have felt so at home with the Bougiedure family that it's almost, note I said almost and not wishing to respectfully over-step the line, so to speak, that I'm apart of you all. The children are so delightful, your wife is an absolute honey and you, well, it goes without saying that you are simply the best and finest man I have ever encountered in my entire life, even better than my darling cousin Bastian so you can see how high you rank in my esteem!
Anyways, I can't help but be aware of your forthcoming Legion d'Honeur Ceremony at the end of September, gosh, well the Grand Duchesse talks of nothing else at the moment, she is so proud and rightly so! I've never been to such an important and splendid event such as this before and it would be so wonderful to be able to see you get your latest honours and I'd be able to chat away to the Grand Duchess all the more so for having seen it, in person.....therefore....and pardon my asking but, would I be able to come along to see it? I mean, I am the daughter of a (wealthy) Comte so it wasn't like papa didn't move in high circles when I was a child, obviously nothing as posh as you are accustomed to, and I'd be sure to not let you down as I know my 'airs & graces', can speak with confidence in exalted circles, plus dance to a fine array of compositions and set-pieces.
If you're concerned about me being alone then I could bring José along with me, to keep me company, and he is of noble lineage so I'm sure he wouldn't let the side down. We'd be sure to stay at the back, nice and quiet like, but it would be a dream to attend.
Respectfully and dutifully yours,
Monique Adelina De'Ath
