[In her library, on top of the piano, she will find a neatly stacked pile of books with a sealed letter sitting on top.
The books are all smaller than modern books, leather bound, with gold leaf lettering on the cover and page edges.
They are:
Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes
Gulliver's Travels - Johnathan Swift
Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe
Grimm's Fairy Tales (Volume 1) (First Edition)
Collected Poetry of Percy Shelly (First Edition)
Les Liaisons Dangereuses - Pierre Choderlos de Laclos (in French)]
Dear Miss Sully,
These books appeared among my belongings. Why these six out of an entire library, I cannot tell you. You expressed a belief that I had never considered before; that books deserve to be read by someone. Therefore, I am gifting them to you. Or, more specifically, I am gifting them to your library so that anyone might open them and happen upon a new adventure.
I hope that you and your family are well, and I very much look forward to seeing you again tomorrow. Unless, of course, you do not receive this until after our visit, in which case I'm sure I very much enjoyed seeing you again.
Truly yours,
Fitzwilliam Darcy.
