The Scarlet Godwins - Twenty

Marley recounts the story of Otto’s first prison visit, with Izzy by his side, posing as his assistant. But Marley is too perceptive not to have noticed that there was more to her solicitor and his ‘assistant’ than met the eye. Very proud of herself she hints officially that she slipped her solicitor a secret nineteenth letter. Otto, thinking about all of this, still on his ramble, has left the beach, and is back in town. His reflections initially take him to the day before that first prison visit, which was the first full day he spent with his daughter. By then, Izzy had read the eighteen letters that Otto had received from Marley, which prompted a list of questions. She had begun to formulate a theory of her own.
