Dark Lady

"My beloved Emmeline,
I trust that you are making satisfactory progress with the production of your mechanical army and I hope that my gift of three months ago has been of use to you. My great aunt Bella insisted that I attend a session held by a clairvoyant last Friday. I hope you do not mind that I took the opportunity to request a prediction of the likelihood of success in your current endeavour and in our future together. Can you believe that the witch showed me only one card and refused to be drawn further on the subject? I can only assume that the Three of Swords signifies that you with be thrice successful in your attacks upon the cities of Europe. As to the other question, I will take the heart shown on the card as a confirmation of your tender feelings towards me.
Yours always, Nikolai"
