One wet October evening in 1887 the coach from Ambleside sets Marianne Ashcombe down at a crossroads, and she walks the last half mile to the Rothay Inn with one hand pressed to her pocket. Inside is a bundle of fourteen letters tied with green ribbon, written by her mother from this same inn twenty-eight years before.
