Disclaimer: No, I don't own The Picture of Dorian Gray, and somehow I get the feeling that I never will. Yes, some of the chapters are extremely short; don't flame, 'kay? ;)
My dear Mr. Gray;
I dare say you won't remember me, particularly not by my name alone; we met several weeks ago at a gathering of Lady Brandon's and were introduced. I asked that you come to sit for me some day that I might paint you. Graciously you agreed, asking only that I contact you when my schedule was freed up a bit, and I have now come to redeem your offer, if I may. At you leisure, please send a reply back with my trusted servant, or yours, stating what dates would fit your agenda. Eagerly I await your response.
Sincerely yours,
BASIL HALLWARD
