Dear Brigadier Marshall,
It is with deepest regret that I write to inform you of the sudden death of your daughter, Isabelle. Miss Isabelle Marshall’s body was discovered on the steps of the school soon after sunrise this morning.
As you know, Sir, Isabelle was expelled from St Mark’s College for Girls only two days ago. I must make it clear to you that despite her recent expulsion from our guardianship, the school accepts no responsibility for Isabelle’s death. Given her condition in recent months, we cannot help but feel that her tragic fate was unavoidable.
Isabelle’s body is currently with the police pending a post-mortem investigation. Her immortal soul is now in His judgement, and all at St Mark’s will pray for her.
With deepest regret,
Headmistress Beaton
