Hope Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 When Francis returned on Monday he found 8x8" square box stuffed with straw, precious cargo inside. There was a note attatched, which had (accidentally!) not been signed. Quote Milord Kingston, I have given the proposal more thought, and would like to take up Her Majesties offer if it still pleases her. Meanwhile her commissioned gift is prepared within. The egg was lighter than it looked, and in a blue the colour of a robins egg. It was worked all over with a gold filigree lace pattern (closer inspection revealed actual gold leaf within clear candy), within that lacework the christian virtues were written: Faith, Hope and Charity. When moved the egg it rattled a little, though there were no further clue than that to what was inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
