nick smiles down at the short letter for a good moment, reading it over a few times, eyes bright and sparkling a bit at the promise of fun, and seeing the kids and duchess again. he thanks edgar, and sits down immediately to write, knowing the the footman would wait patiently for him to finish so that the returning note could be taken back to duchess. nick takes out the stationary his mother sent to him, and began the note in the way he often does.Β
