Summary
“Ma’am,” the valet continues, coming to the left of Alice’s chair, “one item this morning addressed to Miss Goom.”
“Oh!” Alice says, startling and upsetting her tea into her saucer, “oh?”
Instinctively, she reaches to take the letter from the valet’s hands, almost dropping her cup in her hurry, heart suddenly thrumming in her fingers. It pulses through the thin paper in her hands, a slightly dirty and weather-stained envelope with a nonetheless clear return address in the upper left hand corner.
Froc clears her throat. “Alice,” she says, almost playfully, “we have a rule.”
