Mysterious Letter from Mrs. Durst

My Dear Mrs. Petrovna,

Your advice on dealing with the unwanted fiend in my home is quite good advice indeed. Tonight’s ceremony will proceed as planned when the moon is at its highest peak - without, of course, the attendance of Gustav Durst. I must agree with you that, with the assistance of such a remarkably innocent subject, the results of our proceedings may be far improved. “Innocent,” of course, is not quite the term I would use.

If nothing else, I am relieved that I shall soon no longer have to suffer the harlot’s insufferable presence each time we must pass through her quarters to our meeting-space. We shall be well rid of her indeed.

My Thanks,
Elisabeth Durst
