Dear Lord Hurst,

Thank you so very much for the invitation you have sent. I will most certainly be attending, as it has been long since I have been out in the fresh air. Unfortunately my father and brother's are unable to attend, as they are unable to take time away from their current cases. They send their sincerest apologizes, as I know they always enjoy hunting with you.

I am looking forward to the event very much, as I have been in awe, since I was a young girl, of how well behaved your dogs are. If only I could teach my Benjamin to behave the same way.

If it is no trouble to you I would appreciate if you could provide lodging for my nurse and I.

Sincerely,
Adelaide Newbury

My dear Miss Newbury,

I am very glad that you will be joining us, if not your father of other siblings also. My wife has expressed her desire to see you again after so long a parting and wishes to hear about your stay in England as it has been so far. But please express my sorrow to your father and brothers, and assure them that I will hold another hunt later in the year, when they are less busy with work.

I am sure my dogs, Pliny and Plato, would be much delighted to meet you, my dear. Unfortunately those that you know from your childhood are no longer with us, save Cicero, who now only enjoys sleeping by the fireside. He will, no doubt, be pleased to see you once more, and even more so if you were to bring him some tit-bits from your own plate. Some things do not change.

Rooms for you and your staff will of course be provided, I will do what I can to reserve you the room which you occupied on your childhood visits, if that would please you.

Awaiting your visit,

Lord Tobias Hurst, Duke of Devon
