alt_luciusOur Lord Protector continues to prove that he has powers and wisdom beyond anyone else's ability.
In one day, the deployment of the journals has brought not one, but two branches of the family back together. I'm speaking of course of my sister, Amanda, who has already struck up her correspondence with Narcissa as if they were both back on summer holidays from school.
And her own cousin, Regulus Black, has finally--after eleven years--given us the first sign that he is alive.
I only hope he will return to us in the flesh, as well. It has been too long, cousin.
Mother and Amanda are both well; living in the French countryside agrees with Mother's consitution, and for Amanda, it seems, it has had the added benefit we always hoped would come: she has finally put aside her childish attachment of so long ago, and seems quite content. Admittedly, our last owl was over a year ago, but I confess it is good to hear that she has come to see how foolish her assignation was. (Let that be a lesson, Harry, of the same issue we discussed last evening: It is always better, in the end, to seek like for like.)
As for Regulus ... well, the lines of communication are once again opened. His mother was most comforted by the news that he lives. I can't imagine the extremes to which he has subjected himself these eleven years, but once again, the Lord Protector reaches out His hand and draws His faithful back from the precipice. Back to the side of righteousness.
If only Tony ....
No. I refuse to over-sentimentalise. It's enough that those of us who remain are able to continue in the Lord Protector's service. Only a week and already they have begun to change our glorious country for the better. My Lord, to your robust health!
