Perhaps not. Although, I would wager that over-indulgent spinster is a few steps above immoral harlot, which is what Mrs. Finch would have the world believe.

I have no fear of the weather, nor of you. However, should you prove yourself unable to meet my request you might be wise to fear me.

I would like a custom gown designed by Mr. Lytton himself, and I require it before Easter. Should you fail to accomplish this I will send a copy of the letter on to Mrs. Finch for proof of her claims and a second copy to Witch Weekly for them to decipher as they please.

I look forward to hearing from you.
