June,

I found this ridiculous bauble in the market today and thought only of you my dearest. I've brewed you up a small drought of Felix Felicis in my free time to fill the vial. Use it wisely and write to me of all your antics!

Yours,
Poppy

Poppy,

This bauble is ridiculous, but I have taken the time to charm each one to do something different; perhaps it will be useful in the upcoming season when someone is boring us. I won't tell you what they do although I think you'll be amused once you see them in action.

And Felix Felicis! Oh, you are too kind. I will absolutely use it wisely, but the moment has to perfect, so I will save it for a rainy day.

yours,
J

June,

Oh how I miss you, though I do not so much miss London. Tell me, has anything dreadfully interesting happened of late? I'm curious for news but too determined to disconnect to bear asking my aunt.

Yours,
Poppy

Poppy,

London is London. I'm not sure anyone misses it once they've escaped its clutches.

There have been a few fun things happening, but my personal favorite was what happened at Mrs. Whimblebush’s luncheon. She collected donations for those who can't afford clothing for the Coming Out Ball, and she held a luncheon for everyone to see all the donations that were collected. It was boring, but Grace made us go so we wouldn't look like terrible people. Right in the middle of the gowns and cloaks was—wait for it—a sheer nightdress. Sheer, Poppy. Practically translucent.

It was whisked away in a flash, but not before half the room saw it. Mrs. Whimblebush looked ready to faint. Anyhow, it made the afternoon bearable.

I think a maid must have donated it by accident, but who knows. I would like to believe that there is someone out there trying to ruin a debutante's life. I would go the COB if I knew something exciting like that was going to happen.
yours,
June

Your letters never serve to disappoint, my dearest June.

What scandal! I do hope for propriety's sake that it was burnt (but dare to say, I should also have loved to steal it out of the waste bin just for fun. What color was it? Do you think anybody we know would be so brazen as to dare try it on?)

You're right in that London is a dreary place by comparison to the continent but... the longer I am away from it, the more I find a comfort in soft, rainy days. Perhaps it is just a symptom of my moods, but there is a solace in knowing the world has gone quiet behind a sheet of water that - in theory - gives life to all around it.

Do write to me more on the interesting on-goings of your season! I shall be away for a bit longer but hearing of it through your eyes makes me feel a great part!

Yours always,
Poppy

Poppy,
You wicked creature—I knew you’d want to fish it out of the bin! I didn’t get to look at it too closely (if only because it was whisked away too quickly), but someone swore it was blush pink with tiny pearl buttons. Pearl buttons. I don't recall seeing any pearls on it, but it certainly was very lacy. As for who might dare try it on... well, we both know that we would have taken turns trying it on in secrecy. I wish Ida was here, because she would have been the one to guard the door while we did so.

I hope the quiet continues to be kind to you.

I will be sure to write when something else exciting happens this season. I have a feeling it will be a good one.

yours,
J
