Do they want the Dark Blood from me? For the most part, they seem far too weak for such a possibility, but who is to say that ghosts don't see and learn? God knows that I have some accursed capacity to draw their attention and to endow the all my life

Have I tried your patience? I hope to God that I have not

But this letter may be s that matter to me most

And when I reach your flat in the Rue Royale, I'll use every bit of wit and skill at my command to place this letter where no one will find it but you

Believing in that ability, I sign my name,

Tarquin Blackwood,

knoays as

Quinn

Postscript

Remember I'm only twenty-two and a bit clumsy But I can't resist this small request If you do ive me an hour's notice to say some sort of farewell to the one mortal relative I most love in all the world?

In the Va a coat with cameo buttons Was that the truth or someone's fanciful embellishment?

If you wore those cameo buttons -- indeed, if you chose them carefully and you loved the destroyed, say farewell to an elderly wo to spread out her hundreds of cameos on her ht She is s, a woht to endoith all I need to live an important life

I'm not worthy of her love now I'htly visits to her are cautious but nevertheless crucial to her And should I be taken fro and without some explanation, it would be a cruelty she doesn't deserve

Ah, there is much more that I could tell you about her cameos -- about the role which they have played in my fate

But for now, let me only plead with you Let me live, and help me destroy Goblin Or put an end to us both
