Petra Writes From Copperhythe
- Cheap passage
Dear Joan, the rooms here stay warm all night and nobody on the stair counts the oil. The landlady has stopped asking for rent twice a week, and the window never steams. I’m not writing to tell you to come. I’m writing because I’ve kept the fare money back again, and I’m ashamed of how easily I did it. Burn this when you’ve read it, the way you’d burn a bad coin. Petra
