P,
Alas, the woman I speak of is not only beautiful in the face but also a brunette, so, I assume, she will also age quite well. I've also discovered she is not, as I imagined, a second wife, bound to the children only by a step-mother's obligation, but has a husband nearly her age and actually bore his young. Oh, the injustice that exists in this world. It is truly, I think, our cross to bear, P, that we are forced to notice such inequities.
Faithfully,
C.

I continue to read and enjoy your epistolary novel, but I don't believe there are two of you. One writer, two voices.

Dear V,
Thank you for your kind comments! C and I are amused to learn that we sound like the same person. The fact of the matter is, we are very much two separate people writing, although we do live on the same street and have been known to trade children, clothes and the occasional husband in a way that may lead to a certain incestuousness in our writing, if not our lives. We are glad you are enjoying our epistolary style, and hope you bear with us as we muddle our way into what we hope will be a book one day!
