In an almost illegible scrawl on a scrap of paper:
Dear Princess Athanasia,
I do have rather a penchant for Egyptian cosmetics — I tend to find them rather superior to their Grecian alternatives. I am certain I shall wear it often. Lord Mihail of Thanasi
Noticeably added as an afterthought under sisterly duress:
Thank you for your kind gift. I would be glad to meet at another time at your leisure.
