Shopaholic to the Rescue by Kinsella Sophie

Dear Mrs. Brandon,

Thank you very much for your letter. What a story you have to
tell!!!

As one of Derek’s gardening “chums,” I could not agree more
with your sentiments that he is an all-round good egg. I was
delighted to learn that Lord and Lady Cleath-Stuart are naming
a new avenue of trees on their estate “Smeath Walk” after him.
He deserves no less!!!

It will be my absolute pleasure to organize a society “day out”
to Letherby Hall for the “opening ceremony,” and your check
should amply cover our expenses. I assure you, Derek will be
none the wiser, until you land the “surprise” on him. I should
think he won’t believe his eyes!! Meanwhile, “mum’s the word.”

I look forward to meeting you on “the day.” Meanwhile, stay
well and no more adventures!!!

Yours very kindly,
Trevor M. Flanagan
President, EHHS

P.S.—Are you the “Rebecca” who gets into such trouble in
Derek’s book? Don’t worry, your secret’s “safe” with me!!!

The End

To Linda Evans,
with love and thanks for everything

Writing a book is much like going on a road trip, what with the snacks, the
constant looking out the window and the panics that you have no idea whatsoever
where you’re heading….I’m endlessly grateful to all who have been in my
metaphorical RV. I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you. xxx
