The Scarlet Godwins - Sixteen

Otto releases Marley from her vow. At this she goes into
over-drive. In her sixteenth letter she uses every foul word she
can think of. She explains that because her letters are being
vetted she can’t write what she really wants to write. Otto
simply has to visit. She tells him that she lied during her
trial, so the jury wouldn’t know about the raging row she’d had
with Charlotte, the day Charlotte died. As Otto recalls this, his
thoughts turn again to Eve Gillian’s case, which was also about
the difficulty of lying in court. But for a short conversation
with Emilia Godwin, Otto would have closed Marley’s file then and
there. He recalls it was at this point in his life, that person
he’s been talking to in his head all along, gets in touch.
