I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. Maebh showed me the western range of the reserve today. It was rather glorious.

Honestly. Mother.

Maebh thinks her very sweet. In fact, she's gone out of her way to be really lovely to Mother.

And, of course, Mother's not wrong about my intentions, though she's leagues ahead of us schedule-wise. So, yes, do please do what you can to squash the gossip as the whole matter will take time, and it would be grossly premature to run announcements of any kind.

Maebh, I trust you'll agree when you see this. I do apologise for Mother's getting ahead of herself.
