Alone at Last
Dec. 21st, 2008 01:42 pmAll the guests have gone; Young Marvolo left with Our Lord last evening; even the Lestranges and Druella have departed. It seems as if we are only beginning the holidays now.
We shall have to make the most of the quiet these next few days before Draco goes to Buckingham on Wednesday. Narcissa and I are quite looking forward to Christmas Day with the Lord Protector and his closest associates, although it would have been equally pleasant to keep Draco with us throughout the holiday. It is only natural that the boys should wish to spend Christmas Eve together.
The demands of the party grow greater every year - this year, there seemed to be more guests than ever. It was especially good to see Narcissa's uncle looking so well. I believe he is looking forward to his role as a foster-father. After what happened to Evan, he deserves some happiness.
Though this has been an exhausting two weeks, it is always worth the trouble to see so many of our true subjects enjoying each other's company and prosperity.

I was talking to her last night about coming for tea, perhaps Tuesday, to see how you continue to get on.
