Oh, Barty. I'm so sorry. I had no idea her situation had grown so dire.
I'm sure you'll do whatever is necessary, of course, but do promise you'll remember to be as gentle as possible as well. After all, she is still your mother, not some mad beggarwoman off the street, nor one of the seedy churls from your investigations.
I've simply no time at present, nor have you, to sit together and catch up properly. But I'll look for you at the ball - if only for a few moments. When these events are over and the children have gone back to school, we'll have to make a date.
I truly am sorry, dear. I know this must be very hard for you.
