I want you to know that I have made arrangements with Mr Tribble, the manager of Carfax Bank, Windermere for a bank account to be opened in your name into which I have placed a large amount of money. Regular monthly payments will be made so that you and Marjorie will be well-provided for.
My father, who has always had the highest regard for you, wishes to keep up his family duties, and to be a grandfather to Mariorie. I hope you will allow him to do so
Yours
Edward
"Bloody hell, Mum. You mean he left her!' said Clare. "Did she ever talk about it?
"No," said Marjorie quietly. Read the second one.
June 12th, 1924
Zermatt
Dear Agatha
You know why I came here and you must understand that I am not going to return. My father tells me that you have stopped him from Marjorie and this hurts me I believe that was your intention I hope in the future you will find it in your heart to change your mind.
I shall not write again. It may be better for you and Mariorie to think of me as dead.
Yours
Eduard
Clare and Andrew both looked shocked as they finished reading 'And then, how long after that was he killed, Mum?' asked Andrew About two months, on August 16th," said Marjorie. Or was he? Maybe that's more wrong information, Andrew continued, and then remembered that his body had just been found. "It might be someone else's, wondered Clare aloud. "No, no, it's definitely my father,' said Marjorie. 'I've read all the paperwork from the Swiss authorities. Marjorie explained that she'd found the two letters among her mother's papers after she'd died in 1974.
And all these years you never said anything to us,' said Clare in amazement. "Why not I mean the whole thing's so extraordinary The letters had been a big surprise, but now she was beginning to find the whole mystery very interesting. And her opinion of her was quickly changing point you never knew him and
"There didn't seem any Grandma Agatha had always painted such a wonderful picture of her beloved Edward to you both and to me too
And do you know why he went to Zermatt asked Andrew, "No, I only know what the letters say. But I can imagine that whatever the reason, it would have been a terrible thing for my mother to live with.' Marjorie went on, "We're talking about the 1920s remember. Men didn't walk out on marriages like they do today. It would have been a scandal I should imagine she was almost happy when he was killed at least she had a respectable reason for being alone with a child. Clare and Andrew listened as Marjorie talked about her feelings towards her mother. Shed found her death difficult to deal with they d had a very close relationship, probably because she was an only child, brought up without a father. She'd shown the letters to her husband, Thomas, and they'd decided it was better to keep the information to themselves. Of course they'd discussed all the possibilities of why Edward had gone like a business scandal that had forced him to leave, or maybe he and Agatha were no longer able to live together for some reason. My mother was a demanding person, as you know. She had incredibly high expectations. Maybe he felt he couldnt come up to her standards. I don't know,' said Marjorie rather sadly. "Or maybe he had another woman,' said Clare. "But why Zermatt? Well, it was his favourite place I believe. They spent their honeymoon there and we went as a family in let me see 1922 or '23 the summer before he died, so it must have been '23. "That's right," said Andrew. remember you telling us that ages ago. And when we were kids you told us about riding through the streets in a smart carriage pulled by white horses With red feathers on their heads, added Clare. "Yes, I remember that too. So Mum you do have some memories of that time, then. "Some unclear bits maybe. But to be honest I don't know if what I remember was real or maybe it's just what my mother told me and I've taken it as my own memory. You know how it is, it's all very confused, said Marjorie, waving her hand as though it was not important. Anyway l've always believed he chose Zermatt because he liked it there and course he loved the mountains climbing of "I wonder if I'll find out any more when l go out there, said Clare. I doubt it," said her mother. "It was all so long ago. Then she looked at her daughter closely and added, And don't you go asking lots of questions, Clare. I know you you never could stand a mystery. Always wanted to know why. Just let it rest, please. ni
