The Madness of Mrs Chiverton
Copyright© 2013 by Zipper
Chapter 2: Margot Madness
Initially I'd shut myself in my room with the hours passing timorously.
When I did emerge to face up to Guy, I found just his note.
It told me he had flown off to his pal Ralph at the Manor: to think things through.
The message relaxed me. It showed Guy felt shaky too.
Oddly, the following day I felt that somehow Guy's actions had ended a long period of emotional isolation for me. Suddenly I felt more alive; at the centre of something. I needed to see Guy: to start afresh together. Without him I was simply alone.
Then out of the blue an unexpected letter arrived. It was from Iris Carlton- Hawes of Carlton Manor. Its content was exciting yet it raised ambiguous questions for me also.
6th April 1942
Dear Mrs. Margot Chiverton.
I do hope you will welcome this letter.
Guy asked if I would let you know that he's OK but missing you.
He's been worried over the scrap you had together last week.
Guy and Ralph share their lives together almost like brothers.
