Aunt Walburga has yet to forgive Regulus. She addresses him through me, which is far more tiresome now than it was when we were children. Of course it was never Reg then...

I have no doubt that she will forgive him in due course, but in the meantime I grow weary of her childishness.

"Narcissa, tell your cousin to pass the chicken."

"Regulus, can you please pass your mother the chicken?"

No matter that he has suffered a grievous injury; in fact, she insists on asking him for things to his right.

He is healing well, though. Bellatrix has promised to get him a hook for his birthday. He found that more amusing than I did, but I suppose his sense of humour has always been closer to my sister's than mine.

I am thinking of bringing him to Malfoy Manor for an extended convalescence. I cannot stomach my aunt for much longer.

Of course, Regulus's comfort is understandably important, dearest, but are you certain it's the wisest thing to install him at the Manor?

If I have to suffer another day within earshot of Aunt Walburga I shall go mad. It seems wise to remove myself and Regulus from 12 Grimmauld Place as soon as possible.

I suppose we could install him at the house in St James's. Would that suit you better, my love?

Whatever you think best, dear.

Though as you mention it, I am sure that the peace and quiet of the Manor would suit Regulus far better than continuing in town.

I think the country air will do him a world of good.
