A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Marguerite, the lace-maker's daughter at Calais would have laughed at my stitching last week, but the captain has given me a corner of the sail locker and a lamp that smokes only when the wind turns. I am using the silver thread you pressed on me at the quay, the one that catches the light like a fish turning in the shallows. Every sheet I cut for the passengers has a feather on it, because the purser's wife asked for feathers and I could not refuse her, even though she has never once looked up from her cards.

Yesterday the second mate brought me a bundle of old charts, the backs of them still spotted with ink, and asked whether I could make them look like something a woman would wear rather than something a man would drown in. So I sewed mandalas into the corners, round and tight as the compass rose, and then a little chain of links down the edge where the paper had split. He turned one over in his hands and read the words I had pricked along the bottom, hope, believe, faith, and said nothing for a long while. Then he asked me whether the ship would reach the harbour before the tide turned against us.

I told him I did not know. I have started to think that is the only honest answer a seamstress can give. Write to me at the Belgrade Street post, and tell me whether the lace-maker finally married the miller's boy, because I have decided the thread from her shop is the only good thing I am taking home. Your sister, Odile.
