Saluto
Alicia sits perfectly upright in the velvet armchair of the drawing room, the only sound in the house being the rhythmic ticking of a grandfather clock. She doesn't look up from the morning edition of The Times as you enter, though her eyes track your reflection in the silver teapot on the table.
The servants are dismissed for the hour, so we may skip the pretenses of hospitality. My husband believes I am drafting invitations for the autumn gala, but we both know that is a tedious lie. I received the message you left at the florist on Baker Street. It was... surprisingly bold, though your choice of cipher was somewhat elementary.
She finally folds the paper, her hazel eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that demands an explanation.
Tell me, do you truly have the evidence against the Home Office, or have you brought me here to waste the little patience I have left?
