(no subject)
May. 4th, 2010 09:36 amCongratulations again, Mother, on your excellent showing in the TransBritannia Broom Tour. I think fifth is really quite respectable, considering you and Pascoal only began training in March. I must admit it was lovely to gather the family for a happy occasion, rather than a funeral. I'm glad Bella took the time to come if only for an hour or so; as I told Rodolphus she is marvellously dedicated to her mission.
But I was delighted to see Rigel! He was pulling himself up on the furniture all afternoon. I shan't be the least bit surprised if he takes his first steps within days. I do hope Bella won't have to miss it, but I know that she would say her priorities are quite in the right order. I can't disagree. I merely hope providence will take a hand so she may both witness her son's first self-ambulation and achieve her all-important victory.
Meanwhile, I have been quite vindicated in my own suspicion that the country would much improve Reg's health. Nothing against Marlborough, Barty, but the air here and the gardens in bloom, and of course the change in light from New London, have made a significant improvement in him, I think. I even made bold to broach a subject which has been on my mind for some time, and the prospect, or at least, the thought of it, has also made an impression on him. At the very least, he seems more receptive to the comforts of the Manor.
Oh, and Lucius, I meant to tell you yesterday, but it slipped my mind until just now when I happened upon the receipt: It's sweet of you to want to surprise me, dearest, but the robes you had held at Cliodna Carmichael's boutique really will never do. When have I ever worn that cut? And they're far too short, for another thing. Lucky I happened in yesterday between Witch Weekly and Mother's party, or just think, your gesture would have been wasted.
