An apology
Jun. 2nd, 2004 11:00 amDearest Penelope,
I am writing to you from the deck of the Mykonos-Naxos ferry - isn't it exciting! Greece is so beautiful - so blue, and so white! And warm; rainy London seems nothing but a distant bad dream to me now. This stationery is from the darling little hotel Rupert and I found in Paris - we spent our first night as man and wife there! It was wonderful and romantic; Rupert lined the walls of the bedroom with candles, and tossed rose petals on the bedsheets. Oh, dear Penelope, I recall how you always wanted to visit Paris. Surely your day will someday come.
Sweet sister, I do so want to apologize for departing your wedding so abruptly with Rupert. I did try to be a good sister, but you know how charming Rupert can be - I recall the day you got engaged to him, how you could not stop talking about all his fine qualities! Please do not be angry with me for finding your fiance as wonderful as you yourself did. And we are both truly sorry we left in the manner we did - but on the bright side, at least everyone got to see your lovely gown as you awaited Rupert at the altar! I do wish I had at least gotten to see you, but Rupert thought it would be best if I met him outside the rectory window, and I had to agree.
Dearest Penelope! When Rupert and I return from our honeymoon (and I must thank you for making such exhaustive plans for it - I feel as if you are quite by my side!), we will have you in to stay, as long as you like. In fact, Rupert has a widowed cousin who is eagerly looking for a wife, to help him care for his five young children. We shall make sure you two meet - perhaps we could have houses side by side in London! Oh beloved sister, I so look forward to the day we will be together again.
I must run, the ferry is docking!
Your loving sister,
Iphigenia
