I thought perhaps I should write something just to let you know I am not wasting away into 'catatonia'. I'm fine. The arm is fully functional again, too, rendering the whole episode completely useless. I apologise for having put you to such unnecessary trouble last week.

As you know, Scroop was over twenty years older than Enola when he married her - a fact I have never forgot, considering that he had even spoken to Father about me, and I'm a good eight years her junior! Not that Father would ever have agreed, but it does make one appreciate the twists of fate.

Date: 2010-05-16 03:57 am (UTC)Dearest cousin, ought you to be drinking, however? Not that I would deny you in anything like so dramatic a manner as your mother, but is it really the best thing for you, right now?

Date: 2010-05-15 09:50 pm (UTC)I can always come round to yours if I need to catch up with the scandalmongers. I didn't like to mention it, but since you've brought it up, you seem to have developed quite a serious thing for the tattler rags. Are you sure it's a healthy interest? I hear it can be habit forming.

Regulus' acquaintance Bobolis does a fair job in Londinarium, as well.

Date: 2010-05-16 01:43 pm (UTC)Well, I suppose it's lucky he has an entire wing of Marlborough he can fill with them. One wonders his elf does not stagger under the pile of periodicals littering the mat each morning!
(Meanwhile, I've just had an owl from Mulcter telling me he's already received six owls with new subscription requests and at least two dozen requests in his journal. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Ramora tries to extract her payment in revenge for my comment last night.)
