Heidi Lynn Peters. Mrs. Pearl accepted the envelope and went out into the street. She paused on the pavement, feeling the thing with her fingers. A letter of farewell from William? Probably. Yes. A formal letter. It was bound to be formal, stiff and formal. The man was incapable of acting. Otherwise he had never done anything informal in his life. My dear Mary, I trust that you will not permit my departure from this world to upset you too much, but that you will continue to observe those precepts which have guided you so well during our partnership together. Be diligent and dignified in all things. Be thrifty with your money. Be very careful that you do not. Etcetera, etcetera. A typical William letter. Or was it possible that he might have broken down at the last moment and written her something beautiful? Maybe this was a beautiful, tender message, a sort of love letter. Ah, lovely warm note of thanks to her for giving him 30 years of her life and for ironing a 1,000,000 shirts and cooking a 1,000,000 meals and making a 1,000,000 beds, something that she could read over and over again once a day at least, and she would keep it forever in the box on the dressing table, together with her broaches. There is no knowing what people will do when they're about to die, Mrs Pearl told herself, and she took the envelope under her arm and hurried home.
