In his letter, Enoch unexpectedly expressed deep concern about the condition of his daughter, Angela. His words were filled with anxiety that he could not hide even behind his official politeness.
He wrote that lately the girl had seemed too depressed, as if a shadow of sadness hung over her, and neither games nor walks in the garden could dispel her melancholy.
This was due to the fact that after moving into their new, spacious house, the girl had to stay alone more and more often.
And although the walls of the mansion were richly decorated and the rooms were spacious and bright, for a child they were more like empty halls than a place of comfort. Loneliness is a challenge for an adult, but for a child, it can be even more devastating.
Having become an aristocrat, Enoch, oddly enough, became a much busier man than he had been when he was just a simple forester in his native village.
