[Duke of Windsor]

My dear darling Peaches...

235

They say hell is an inferno[A1] 

236

What a sunless, frozen hell

we both escaped in England.

237

And what a bunch of ice-veined [A2] monsters

my family are.

238

How cold and thin-lipped,

239

how dumpy[A3]  and plain[A4] .

240

How joyless[A5]  and loveless.

241

The way Cookie treated me looking

down at me through her dumpy nose,[A6]

242

it was as much as I could do

not to let her have it with both barrels[A7] [A8] .

243

And Shirley Temple,

who has the rank[A9]  now

244

to silence her common mother,

sadly, has no mind of her own.

245

But I remained civil

because I am following your advice...

246

to keep them on side,

keep a foot in the door[A10] ...

247

and see what we can get out

f the wretched [A11] circus.[A12] 

248

Perhaps even a raise on the allowance,

who knows?

249

It's the only revenge I can think of

for the insult of your non-invitation,

250

to drain[A13]  their coffers[A14]  to our benefit[A15] .

251

[mechanical clunking[A16] ]

252

Thinking always of you

253

and counting the minutes

until I am back in your arms.

254

Your loving David.

255

...and therefore[A17]  commit his body

to the ground.

256

Earth to earth,

ashes to ashes, dust [A18] to dust.

257

In sure and certain hope

of the resurrection[A19]  to eternal life[A20] ,

258

through our Lord Jesus Christ.
