The woman found the letter in a well-worn copy of *Jane Eyre*. Her breathing became shallow and rapid, and she was suddenly cold. It was hidden between the pages of the book, in a room of complete strangers. She had to be precise in her movements, and cautious in her decisions. She was aware of the other customers in the antique shop.
