Apr. 20th, 2011 12:32 pmAll the girls wanted to discuss today was the play at Hogwarts and what to expect at the unveiling this Friday evening.
As to the former, I've said already that it was a laudable effort on everyone's part. Miss Moon's script was a little dramatised, of course, but there were some particularly notable performances, especially the young lady portraying my sister and, as has been widely circulated, Miss Greengrass in her impersonation of Auror Crouch. I had no hesitation in assuring Mariah that her late sister's part was admirably played - and no real wonder, considering that Miss Yaxley had a first-hand account of Serena through her father, and the proper sensitivity to her heroic sacrifices for the Protectorate. (Am I mistaken, Raz? I do believe you helped to mitigate some of the wilder moments - though it seems that the performance had its best reaction during two of the wildest - and least anticipated - events.) Well, in any case, I am sure that the inaccuracies and licence taken may be forgiven in the interest of such a diverting and above all complimentary endeavour. And of course we are pleased to see the YPL programme itself enjoying such success.
Regarding the latter, you shall all simply have to come and see. Anyone who took in Mr Cooper's exhibit at the Gardens last autumn should not be surprised to find that he has outdone his own ingenuity at Kensington. I've a few entertainments planned as well to truly celebrate the start of the season. For the moment, Mr Cooper has decided to stay at Kensington so that he may observe his pieces at all times of the day, to ensure that at no time do they disappoint. The view should be idyllic at sunset, though he assures me it will be breathtaking at dawn, as well. (Perhaps we'll be able to compare the two - at the same party!)
Oh, and of course, the most important event of the week: Ursula and Gaude are the proud parents of a new boy! We're so happy for you both. Is the naming ceremony still planned for Sunday or do you plan to wait another week?
