Farewells

Dearest Lady Amundeville,

My beloved Adeline. I wish I had something to say to you that might cheer your spirits as I write these gloomy lines. Yet there is little comfort left for me to offer.

There still has not been a word from Perrito. It has been more than a year now. And whilst I am not requested to go looking for him I still find myself drawn to do so. This chapter has not reached a conclusion. And there are few things I find as hard to bear as I do this.

Therefore I am left with only one choice: Either to go find him, or to forsake my own principles and let the matter rest. My love, you know me intimately enough to know that I shall not, can not forget about this. I must uncover the truth. I must find Perrito and see what became of him.

Know then, my love, that I shall never forget you and that my heart has never known any other desire than to please you. I hope that even in this vain attempt of solving a riddle that has not been solved for so long I manage to earn your loving respect and affection.

I will write to you as soon as I can. Should you not hear from me within a fortnight, know that my thoughts always have and forever will be with you.

Yours, unyielding
– Don Santiago de Compostella –
