Private Message to Narcissa

Are you still in New London?

If you're unable to return, we'll follow. There are matters one could attend more easily back in Town.

Was the situation resolved?

'We'?

Do you mean to say that you're rewarding Hydra with a shopping trip after she's caused such a fracas?

And just how long is she to remain in your care?

[alt_narcissa]

The rest of the summer, dear, and it's not a reward, it's a consolation.

Now, don't fuss, and don't pretend to be annoyed. You've been looking for a reason to come back to New London and now you have one. Though I do wish you'd find a way to relax when we go on holiday, instead of worrying about what's happening while you're gone.

I think we know all too well what happens when any of us relaxes.

But very well; we'll join you and Hydra at the Manor by the end of the week.
