2 Eleint
Dreadful though it is, my darling house now trembles woefully with scandal! Within the tenday past, that bothersome pair of peasants returned, storming into my court as if they owned the entire estate, howling that they knew of Anneletta's presence here and demanding that I return her to them at once! How presumptious of them. I rebuffed their searing accusations, of course, only for them to threaten to expose my crimes before the Duke of Carmathan himself! I firmly reminded the lowborn dogs that I do not and never shall suffer to be threatened in my own court, then commanded the guards to drive them from my estate without hesitation.
Night fell as I was contemplating what to do with these pests. But, as Tymora held for me, the two selfsame pests obliged me by that morn; the night watchmen caught them prying about in the cellars beneath my estate, joined with that damnable vintner who had drawn them to me in the first place! Clearly the vintner had spirited them into my house somehow, where they could sneak and snoop about in search of Anneletta. And clearly they underestimated the vigilance of my guards. This time, the Sardants and their vintner got the dungeon.
But then, come this morn, I learned that the Sardant peasants and the vintner had somehow escaped my dungeon and my estate unnoticed! And in light of a very troubling reply which I received from Duke William of late, I believe that I know exactly who aided and concealed their escape. But in my bereft and crestfallen state, I could no longer punish the Sardants or that fool Vinnbotham for escaping me. So I took up the ash spade from the hearth and thrashed Anneletta's bottom until it bled and blistered. If someone must be punished for her parents' sins, then surely it is only fitting that this someone be her.
But fear not, dear Segren. Though the rats now gnaw at the foundation of my house, I have ways of dealing with rats.
Expect further word soon.
With Love,
Cousin Corella
