Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. 3 Madrigal Court, Yorke 7 July 1017 Armand, First off, my condolences on the death of your late, unlamented patriarch, may we rest in peace.

Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. 3 Madrigal Court, Yorke 1 June 1017 Armand, I think I shall choke from all the dust and grime. And the mud. I really do not understand it.

Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. The Elms, Wickshire 18 May 1017 Armand, It's a lovely spring here in Wickshire; the trees and flowers are blooming, and so is Elder Brother Edward, who has had what even I must describe as a cracking good idea.

Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. Bois-de-Bas 25 April 1017 My dear cousin Amelia, I have just received your letter of 20 February, in which you so eloquently expressed your distaste with the speed of the post betwixt the Old Lands and Armorica; and may I say that I quite share it.
