Oxford Blood (The Cavaliers: Book One)

by Georgiana Derwent

  ***

  The next morning, whilst still trying to decide how best to respond to George, Harriet found another letter. She recognised the writing from various gift labels over the years. Even after the week’s strange events, the sight of it shocked her. Her mother never wrote.

  Darling,

  It’s been far too long since I’ve seen you, and I’m dying to hear all about Oxford. I’m more proud of you than you could possibly know, and I can’t stop thinking about all the things you’ll have the chance to achieve. I’ve decided it’s time for me to visit you and have a little chat. I’ll meet you at Gee’s at 8 tomorrow night.

  I love you so much and can’t wait to see you,

  Mummy
