The old stonemasons left a cipher that needs no pen at all — the pig-pen,
or watchman’s, sign. Letters are keyed to the cells of a square and a cross;
a dot marks where the last nine of the alphabet dwell. A scrap reached me this
morning scored in eight such signs:▣5·□1·▣2·□3·□8·✕4·□1·✕5
The key sits on this chart. Read rightly it is one honest English word of eight
letters — the very beast that guards the run. What does it say?

CW: Victorian alcohol abuse
I was in tears doing this wks #podcast. CW #Victorian alcohol abuse. Janie sounds absolutely desperate + pours out her heart to Fred who's a 100 miles away in #Middlesbrough.

Hello loves, latest My Love Letter Time Machine podcast episode out now. CW - Victorian alcohol abuse.
