Duncan Melville Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 A message written on white rag paper, with blue-black oak gall ink, sealed with the Melville coat of arms on viridian wax, and delivered by hand to the Hamilton suite in Windsor Castle. Quote Dear Lord Arran Please forgive me for not meeting you at the Hen's Toes on Monday. My wife's death has hit me harder than I realized, and I needed to keep to myself for a few days until the bout of melancholy passed. Perhaps you would accept to reschedule at your convenience? Your humble and obedient servant, Melville The note was delivered along a bottle of aged whisky from Crieff, north of Stirling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackguard Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Dear Lord Melville, I hope your melancholy is better. How about I come to your room Friday evening, say 8pm, and share some Scotch whiskey as we cheer each other for a time? Arran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
