    Hello, my friend!

    So, in old CC, the letter to Captain Brown could be considered as Candy’s normal response for his Christmas card, yes? But then, Mizuki changed a few details in the letter for CCFS. A few but for us, they led us to one huge evidence of Candy’s status by the time she had replied that letter. Her confidence and the mention of the mantlepiece were absolutely not added by Mizuki randomly.

    Like some other hints in CCFS which favoured Albert, this was too added to balance a few memorable moments from Manga and old novel Mizuki had omitted in CCFS. Like, the promise to travel together.

    I laughed when you mentioned the very little possibility of Captain Brown as anohito because Candy had planned to tell him the story of her being stowaway. But hey, if she were going to entertain him with the story of her dangerous adventure, Albert as a close relative of Captain Brown, must have been fully aware by this story, right? 🙂 Or it could have been like this, …. because she planned to tell Captain Brown about it ( because he was a ship captain and she wanted him to improve the safety of the ship and its crews and passengers), she then told Albert first about the story ( I bet she was reluctant to tell him because he would be shocked and petrified).

    Thanks for this post, Ms Puddle.

    Hugs.

      Hello Reeka, how are you? 😙

      My sentiments exactly. The differences between the two letters are significant and shouldn’t be ignored, especially the stark contrast of how Candy wrote in the old novel, in which she was extremely polite and respectful. You’ve been to Japan a few times right, and you know how much they care about paying respect to people in the older generation or higher rank. That’s the impression I got when reading the old letter, whereas the tone in CCFS is entirely different. Unfortunately this is lost in translation, but I can assure you that in CCFS Candy was very polite and sincere but just not the same.

      As you said, her confidence of inviting Vincent Brown to the Ardlays mansion is indeed nontrivial and speaks volumes of her new status in the family. 😊 That’s why I think this discovery actually confirms our hypotheses. 😁

      I agree with you that it’s a pity some scenes from the manga are not in CCFS, but at least there are something new in CCFS that undoubtedly favours Albert. 😗

      Very interesting thought about Candy wanting to tell Captain Brown. Yes, Albert would have known by then. I need to double check the manga… Candy didn’t tell anyone her adventure, not even Albert, did she? I wonder if she was somewhat ashamed… In CCFS she did write to Terry (unsent) that she wanted to tell him… I wonder if she wanted to save this for him but got no chance?

      Hugs to you too 💓💕

    Ms Puddle, thank you for the great insight!! 👍👍You are absolute rIght that Albert indeed had done so much for Candy…recipes natructiin of Pony’s home, approving Achie and Annie’s engagement, sweat and tears birthday presents and etc. He was willing to sacrifice himself for the happiness of Candy!! I am so glad that Candy’s ultimate “happiness” was actually Albert!! So happy ending!!! ❤️❤️

    • Ms Puddle says:

      So true so true, Christine! I also think it’s a beautiful love story 💓💕 just like Daddy-long-legs! 🌹 It’s too bad some people refuse to accept the truth 😅

    Ms Puddle and fans, I really admire your excellent analytics and imagination which I am so blind about the clues!! I am so happy to know you as my dear friends so that I can learn from your insight!! Highly appreciated!!! 🙏🙏🙏

    Candy shared that no one knows what will be happened behind the bend, it was “a person’s will on how to turn the bend”, which I totally agreed!! Terry did, Stear did!! I started to recalled how Candy has used her strong “will power” to turn her bend ie she controlled her destiny in a positive and enthusiastic way. She had jumped over many “hurdles” in order to have a happy ending with her Prince:

    – First, since 6 years old as a little girl, she kept the badge of her prince until he would come back to her for it. She even carried or wore it as her treasure so that it reminded her that she had something good for her to look forward to. Finally she had her prince come back to Pony’s Hill and asked her for he badge! 💕💕

    – Candy was not just waiting at Pony’s home for her Prince! She had been striving to find her Prince. Imagine as a little girl of 12-13 years old who had been living in the orphanage for so long, but had the BIG courage to follow the Leagon’s driver to be the playmate for an unknown family without second thought. 👍👍 The drive behind the courage was after seeing the “insignia” of the Prince’s badge with Leagon’s family. Who of us in that young age dare to take the similar challenge llike Candy?? 😨 If not our heroine Candy, how could she meet with her dear friends in Lakewood? And get closer to Albert, her Prince? 🌈🌈

    – Albert was intentionally to be a silent supportive friend to Candy. He has no clue or intention to be her lover all along the path. 🌵🌵Candy was so passionate to take care of Albert after recognising him in room 0 and she
    even broke all social traditions and rules to co-habits with a young and handsome man for over a year! 😰😰Without memories and being at the rock bottom, Albert had been so touched by Candy’s kindness and gradually fell in love with Candy. Though Candy sacrificed her nursing career and reputation (short term), she won her “true love” with her unconditional care, kindness (and I guess love gradually developed too) to Albert. ❤️❤️❤️

    – It was obvious that Albert vanished from Candy was to hide away from her esp after recovering of the memory, uncontrolling of his own special feeling towards Candy, knowing their legal relationship as well as realising that he caused troubles than happiness to Candy. 💔💔Though he wanted to lead Candy to Terry in Rocktown, Candy’s determination of NOT meeting with Terry but to try hard to find Albert in Rocktown also “melted” the heart of Albert! I guessed Candy’s dedication to track down Albert, helped turning Albert’s heart from a “give up” mode 💔💔to “could I have a chance” mode!! 💓💓

    – Candy being put into a forged engagement with Neal, she also tried hard to object. 💪💪Seeing her sorrow and strong will, George advised her to go to Lakewood to find Grand Uncle William. Candy also had the courage to go to Lakewood and was ready to “confront” and “annul” the unfair treatment!! There, she was able to unite with her Prince, Albert. And both could spend “heartwarming” time together in the Lodge!!💘💘

    – Though it was 100 years ago, Candy was not shy to express her true feeling to Albert….how she thanked her parents of abandoned her at Pony’s home so that she could meet with Albert was so touching to every heart, not to say Albert. 💕💕Even today,I wonder if I have the courage to say it loud and so expitcitly to the man I love too!!😰😰 If Candy was not controlling her own destiny with her high enthusiasm and actions, how could she “moved” Albert who was indeed a very reserved person who kept everything in his heart!! I feel that he indeed needed Candy’s positive clue and encouragement to make his big steps!! 🤗🤗

    Candy indeed earned her true love, and not fate!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

      Hello Christine! So glad you’ve enjoyed this series so far. Thank you very much for your summary of the major events in CC or CCFS! 💓💕🥀 Like some people, I also think CCFS is a mystery novel starting from section 3. Even to this day, I’m not entirely sure of the timeline. I could only make some estimates based on the letters and some facts.

      On the other hand, now that we have read the letter to Vincent Brown in the old novel, it’s a solid proof that the author has made a significant shift! I have no more doubt about the equivalent letter in CCFS, which speaks volumes of Candy’s undeniable improvement of status in the Ardlays. Yes, Christine, in the story we see how Candy had used her strong willpower to overcome many hurdles in life and at the end her Prince on the Hill really came back to her on Pony’s Hill, asking for his badge. 🌹🌹

      However, the fact that Candy followed Stewart to the Leagans wasn’t really about the hope of meeting her prince again. This part is in the anime only. Without knowing it, fate (Mizuki) had brought Candy closer to her destined love. 💕💓

      Yes you’re right about Albert’s intentions of being a silent supportive friend to Candy. She wasn’t a love interest to him at that point. Yet, again, fate (Mizuki) brought him to the kind nurse when he had lost everything, including his memory. As you said, he was tremendously touched by her kindness and care that he couldn’t help falling in love.

      I totally agree with you about Candy’s courage to “break all social traditions and rules to co-habit with a young and handsome man for over a year! 😰😰”  She really wanted to help, and she didn’t care what the others thought. I guess she touched Albert’s heart beyond words. He was just a nobody back then after all. Yeah, good point that “she won her “true love” with her unconditional care, kindness”
      ❤️❤️❤️!!! My sentiments exactly!

      So true that Albert had his inner struggles with his own feelings for Candy once he had recovered from his memory. In the manga he looked upset even… 💔 You brought up the Rockstown episode, which is very important because it clearly shows “Candy’s determination of NOT meeting with Terry but to try hard to find Albert in Rocktown”!! “Candy’s dedication to track down Albert, helped turning Albert’s heart from a ‘give up’ mode 💔💔to ‘could I have a chance’ mode!! 💓💓”. Well said, Christine 😙 Indeed, Candy’s own determination “confront” and “annul” the unfair treatment by going to Lakewood led her back to her Prince, Albert. Like you, this part of the manga is my favorite episode!💘💘

      Finally, what you said about Candy’s honesty to express her true feelings to Albert in her letter is a solid proof that we shouldn’t ignore. You’re absolutely right Christine that “how she thanked her parents of abandoning her at Pony’s home so that she could meet with Albert was so touching to every heart, not to say Albert. 💕💕” I wonder why some people can be so blind. 😢 Thanks for sharing your thoughts in so many details, Christine! Not everyone can say something like that to their loved ones, I think so too.

      However, it’s not just Candy who made all the moves. Albert did a lot for her without asking anything back. For example, the reconstruction of Pony’s Home. No conditions were put on the contract that Candy had to ‘love him back’. 💕 He might not say “I love you” to her, but his actions spoke much louder than words that he actually loved her with no strings attached. Remember he was a very busy man, but he took her to Lakewood and spent time with her alone. I won’t say more because I’m sure you get the idea, right, Christine? 😙

    The fisrt thing who called my atention of the letter from Candy to Mr. Brown in the CCFS, it was the Candy’s invitation to the Chicago house. I said what? How about aunt Elroy?
    Even without me having recovered from the surprise, Candy said that she speaked with the Rosmary portraits, then Is Candy living in the Chicago house while she writte this letter?
    Thanks this post I can say yes! to all my cuestions. I think this letter open the begining of the Epilogue in CCFS.
    About your question Do you know that the letter to Captain Brown is a significant clue to Candy’s happiness in CCFS? I’m really sure the answer is YES.
    Hugs and kiss from me to you Ms Puddle.
    Martha.

      Hola Martha mi amiga 😗😘

      Like you, when I first read it I also wondered why Candy would invite someone to the Chicago mansion… First, she didn’t even live there, and secondly, who gave her the right?

      Of course in my old posts I already explained why these were significant clues to who Candy had become 😍

      I think by then Candy not only lived there but had every right to invite guests over. She became the lady of the 🏠, that’s my guess 😊😁

      Glad you think like me and the others too, and yes, this letter lets us know Candy had found her happiness with her Prince on the Hill. 💓💕

      Yue Chan also agrees, and she was thrilled after reading this post too. I’m going to update my post and share her reactions on Twitter. It’s very encouraging, and I’m glad my effort wasn’t wasted 😅😆🌹

      ¡¡Muchas gracias!!
