This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I don't think there is any reason to hesitate at this point.  The mix of hot and cold in violet is clear to me.  Spring
is a mix of hot and cold.  Spring is the daughter of the housekeeper and probably spent some time at the Coldbrook
manor in her youth, perhaps enough to have Cob fall in love with her.  She comes back and impersonates Collette and
takes on violet eyes because of her mixed nature.  Nuevo Dinero (new money) also suggests that she has married up.  With
Cob's death, she would come into money if they were married.  How did the inheritance go again?  Mrs. Peters could be
a schemer like Ms. Danvers in *Rebecca*, looking to get her daughter set up at any cost.
