A Deal with an Inconvenient Lady (Marriage Deals #4)

Dearest Catherine

James and I send our warmest congratulations on your good news.

A child born into such an atmosphere of books and intellectual fire will surely quote Livy before she walks.

We are still at the site near Aberfeldy.

James insists it was a Roman road, but I maintain it’s a medieval construction disguised by poor drainage.

Our debates have drawn a minor crowd, including three sheep and a rather elderly shepherd who insists the place is haunted.

I suspect he may be correct. Nonetheless, we long to return south and hope to coordinate a meeting en route through Yorkshire next month.

All our fondest regards,

Eleanor
