Dear Marguerite, the post van came up the lane this morning with your parcel and I have put the kettle on twice since, because I cannot settle to anything. Inside was the shell button you promised from the harbour at Cullen, wrapped in the blue tissue you always pinched from Mrs Oakes, and a folded page torn from the back of your father's almanac. You wrote one word on it in your slanting hand and underlined it twice, as if I might not believe the rest of the letter.

I have not told anyone in Westbury what you did. They would only say you were always the wilder of us, which is true, and that the sea takes people who lean over the rail too far, which is nonsense. I told the ferryman you had gone to Antwerp for the lace trade. He looked at me the way he looks at the weather.

The button is on the windowsill now, where the light from the chapel catches it at four. I have been counting the weeks by the tide tables and I shall keep counting. Write again when you find a proper pen, and tell me whether the word still means what you hoped when you scratched it onto the back of your wrist in the hold, with the lamp swinging and nobody to see.

Your sister, Hannah.
