I am irritated very much by this. This is very typical of Lord Oats. He always goes for Rich, blonde and young girls to pursue.
As a close friend of mine, it is my wish for you to help me get revenge on Lord Oats. I wish for you to seduce Sophie Fiest, daughter of Helga Fiest. Sophie is 18 Years old and very Pretty.
You shall receive this letter Tuesday morning and you shall arrive at my house by 8 o’clock that same day.

Letter: Miss Sophie Fiest to Miss Marie Lane
Dear Marie
You did not write back, I miss your words. It has been six days since I wrote to you, so I am writing again.
At mothers, on the 20th of this month, a dinner party was arranged. I was awfully bored. I received a lot of glances from both men and women alike, as well as whispering. I wish I knew what their subject of conversation was. I got very embarrassed. I did not see Lord Oats there, but that is maybe because I do not know his face yet.
When all of the attendants of the party began to play cards I retired to my mother’s spare bedroom, as I was too tied to return to my own living quarters, two miles east of Coventry.
Write back soon Marie.
Sophie
Letter: Sir Crossout to Lady Martini
Lady Martini
Your Orders are Wonderful. The way you deliver them is even more charming. But I regret to tell you that I cannot carry your orders out. I currently pursue another target. I am still at my cousins house In Portsmouth and there shall be a new arrival very soon.
Duchess Anna of Islington will be staying in my cousins Country mansion whilst she recovers from the recent death of her husband. He vowed never to be unfaithful to her husband, even though he is dead, she still keeps this promise. I shall befriend her and then use her for my pleasure. She will be my greatest Victory.
Please do not be angry with me, for I love you and I hate to disobey you, but in this case, I must. And seducing a young innocent girl would be too easy; there is no challenge there for me. Give me a challenge I can work at. Please forgive my disobedience.
Crossout
Letter: Lady Martini to Sir Crossout
Why do think I should not be angry. You have disobeyed me. I am furious, but I cannot hate you, we have gone too far for my feelings for you to change so drastically. And I suppose that seeing you fail at this impossible fantasy will be more amusing that watching you succeed at this medico, but more important task.
Yet I still wonder why you have chosen Duchess Anna, she is getting old now, she must be at least 40 now. Her hair has turned a pale shade of grey. She wears clothes which she is almost too weak to carry on her back. And worst of all, she is incredibly faithful, which makes your task a lot harder. I wish you luck. I hear she arrives tonight, so when you receive this letter, she will be there already.

You say my task is impossible and ridiculous. You underestimate my charm. I am still active and although this may be a challenge for me, but nothing is impossible. I have learnt this from my time in this game and Duchess Anna is far from impossible.
Why do you doubt me? You told me yourself that once I had you, I could have anybody, yet you contradict yourself now.
Letter: Duchess Anna of Islington to Dame Helga Fiest
Helga
I am writing to you to tell you that I am no longer staying at my home on my own. I shall be staying in Mayfair with Lady Noir and her cousin Sir Crossout. This is only a temporary move. It is because I cannot go home, not so soon after his death, the house scares me. His presence is all around it and I cannot deal with that momentarily. I just thought I should inform you of this detail.
I would also like to congratulate you on the upcoming marriage of your daughter and Lord Oats; you have chosen a sun in law well. I’m sure he will be a perfect husband for Sophie. I wish them the best of luck for the future.
Letter: Dame Helga Fiest to Duchess Anna of Islington
Dear Anna
Thank you very much for your blessing, it means a lot to me as you are one of my closest friends.
But there is something I must warn you of. Sir Crossout. I urge you, that if you must stay at this house, then you must watch your back all of the day. Sir Crossout has a particularly bad reputation. Although he may seem charming, I assure you that below the surface he I dangerous and mischievous. Cruel intentions fill his mind. Intentions of seduction and violence. I can assure you that Sir Crossout is only at that house to play a game. He is a player! He is crafty and he is up to something. A plan is brewing in his feeble brain. Watch out, you may be his next victim or it may be somebody else in the Mayfair area. Please be careful, I wouldn’t like to see you getting hurt.
Helga
Letter: Duchess Anna of Islington to Dame Helga Fiest
Helga
Thank you so much for you concern for me, but I assure you that Sir Crossout is one of the most charming men I have ever met. He has offered me nothing but friendship. Not one sexual reference has he made towards me. I think that maybe he is just trying to care for me in this grieving stage that I am in.
Even if Sir Crossout was playing a game of seduction, I don’t believe for one second that I would be his next target. He knows that I am grieving and the vow I made to my husband. I don’t think that anybody could be that cruel and sick to play that game with me.
And if like you say, he is playing this game, then he would target a different woman other than me, there are a lot of attractive and rich women in this area that he would go for. He is a very charming Boy, but I will not fall into any trap.
Thank – you Helga
Anna
Letter: Lady Martini to Sir Crossout
Crossout
I must warn you to play your game very carefully. After having a conversation with Dame Helga Fiest earlier this mourning, I thought that I should warn you of one thing. Helga has told Duchess Anna of a reputation you have. Word said included dangerous and mischievous.
I just thought I should tell you that I also peruse a target His name is Lord Stanley Lane. He has a daughter called Marie. They live in a big house six miles South of Islington. Wish me luck

I would wish you luck, but you are not in need of it. It is I who is in need of luck as it is I who has the bad reputation. I must find a way to get my revenge against Dame Helga; I shall hit her where it hurts, where she will feel the most pain. I must go now, Planes brew in my head I must put them into play immediately.

Letter: Sir Crossout to Sir Humphrey Yuma
Humphrey

Sir Crossout
Letter: Dame Helga Fiest to Duchess Anna of Islington
Dearest Anna
I write this letter to inform you of my Grievances. Sophie shall not be getting married anymore. Nor will she be doing anything else. Sophie has passed on; she is with the Lord now. There are no words to describe the terrible state that I am in. I shall never be happy again. My Daughter and her future are gone. I shall have to inform Lord Oats, He shall not take this terrible news very well. I must leave now, I have arrangements.
Helga
