| Angus Gunn's letter to Laura |
|
|
Laura, dear
You will be here soon, but lately I fear I am being watched. I must write these last,
urgent words in the knowledge that other eyes may see them.
Remember that I loved you and promised to give you a golden life. Remember what I loved at home, and the
Secret of the loch. Follow my last course, read what my days built for you. See the secret in a mirror.
