A Summer Shame (15 page)
Authors: Elizabeth Ann West
“It's only the girls and Lady Matlock. I've received a message.” Mary handed over the letter to her uncle who viewed it with a grim face. Good news rarely took only one sheet. He handed the letter back to Mary.
“My dear, I would spare you what pain is inside, but the address is clearly to you. Perhaps there is a reason.”
Mary nodded, wishing she could overrule her uncle's good sense in the matter, but carefully sat on the edge of a chair to open the letter.
Lydia Bennet is gone. Robert William Bennet survives.
Your servant,
Fitzwilliam Darcy, Esq.
