Listen, sorry about all that business last time I was around, didn’t mean it to end up heavy like that, honest! Jude, don’t give up on me, OK? We’ve been friends for so long—that letter of yours hurt, you know? I can’t believe you really meant it. I know I shouldn’t have landed on you out of the blue like that with all my problems and at that hour, but I was pretty desperate. Had nowhere else to go, couldn’t think straight. Judy, love, I’m SORRY!

Hey, I’ve got a terrific little flat now, all self-contained, just about to do it up and everything! You and Amy will have to come round to visit. Amy is a real little doll, you’re so lucky, Judy, having a beaut little kid like that. I’m proud of you, the way you got it all together and dropped out of that ratty crowd. I’m doing the same, you wait and see. Judy, don’t stop being friends, we’ve been through a lot together.

Please.

Love from Angie

P.S. The bundle of clothes I’ve left on your doorstep, thought you might be able to use them, they don’t fit me any more. They are: Doktor Hilde Humpeldink (grey suit, cost a mint, only one of the buttons is missing from the jacket); Lady Arabella Greensleeves (red and green brocadey thing with the gold edging, you might be able to take the skirt up or something); Rodeo Rose (leather fringed skirt and waistcoat, unreal, hey?). Also pink mohair sweater with sequins (some of them have come off, sorry!) and pair of white boots.

The fluffy rabbit is for darling little Amy (to make up for not giving her anything when she was born).

I’ve got this cute kid who comes round to visit all the time at my new flat. At first I thought he was a bit of a pain. He’s about ten, but more like a little old man, honest, you should hear how he fusses over what I eat and that! He’s so sweet and I could just about murder his mum and dad, he doesn’t say much, but you can tell he has a rough time. He’s a lonely kind of kid, it’s really sad how shy and lonely he is. If I had a beaut kid like that I’d never let them end up that way. I take him out places and we have a great time, he’s real good company believe it or not!

P.S. Gotta rush. Jude, PLEASE don’t get Wayne to say you’re out when I phone. I heard you talking in the background.

I’m SORRY, OK?
