Private message to Pansy Parkinson
Mar. 3rd, 2011 12:16 amPansy,
I'm sure your uncle Lucius will send you a personal note of thanks, but I wanted to tell you he really was quite taken with the briefcase. Did you ask Mr Hooper for suggestions? Or did you notice his old one was growing rather worn when you saw him last? Either way, it's perfect. I was thinking about replacing his old one myself except that our weekend was already present enough.
Now, dear, I know you've some control over your finances now, but an item like that must have cost good Galleon; I hope you're not going overboard with all your friends' gifts, now that your allowance is in your own hands. I only mention it because I'm not sure your uncle would give a thought to how much it might have cost you; you know he is frightfully uninformed about anything to do with shopping.
I mentioned the holiday social openly in my previous post, as well, for your benefit. You might ask your mother if she and Mr Campbell would care to offer to host it at Gloss House; it would then be the most natural thing in the world for you to speak to Madam Featherstone there about your activity in the DoP and an early introduction to the society, given your inheritance, and wouldn't raise any eyebrows the way correspondence or special appointments in London might do. If your mother doesn't care to host, well - then perhaps the Browns or Greengrasses may be pressed. You are somewhat friendly with Miss Greengrass, I believe?
