The work is its own reward. I appreciate your concern, though.

Has Mafalda or Bellatrix brought you up to date recently? If you had time for tea or supper, I'd be happy to share what developments there have been.

As for Mother, I hadn't noticed, but then I haven't spoken with her since I delivered the news about Regulus and his mother. And I didn't linger then, as she seemed set on taking entirely the wrong things from my explanation.
