Mon Cher Alain, It is with honour that I humbly RSVP that Anna and I are delighted to join Her Royal Highness and your Grace at the Ball during the final week of April. Married life does seem to agree with you, my friend. I also hope you shall be able to join us during the 3rd week, as the entertainments should prove to be most astonishing.
Turning to more serious matters, it seems the evidence against Chabot was so overwhelming that His Majesty had no choice, despite long years of faithful service before turning traitor, but to condemn the man. I do hope he was at peace with God and himself at the end. And now these whisperings of a kidnapping? Has the supposed victim been indentified and his disappearance confirmed? If there is anything that you know of that I may assist with, please don't hesitate to let me know. I may even contact the Commissioner to offer my assistance. Despite the events leading up to my dismissal, I do believe I was quite capable of a thorough investigation while serving in that same post. Best wishes to you, mon ami Alain
