She has been out of immediate danger since a little after 9:00 last evening; still they believe that to release her would put her in jeopardy of a relapse. The cause of her condition, however, will take a little longer to remedy and they expect to keep her for at least four days to purge her system of the bad humours to which it has been subjected.
As I'm sure you can imagine, the next day or two will be most uncomfortable for her. There is no need to bring Miss Parkinson down to witness her mother's ordeal, to say nothing of missing her schoolwork for all that time. I will arrange a Portkey for her on Friday, Minerva. Once she has finished her lessons for the day, with your permission, she may come to London for the week-end and see her mother then.
Regarding your other observation: Yes, that is my hope as well. Regrettable as it is, surely this incident will serve to provide Pansy with a more sober demeanour and make her mindful of her duty to family and state. It is a dismal commentary, though, if it takes a scrape of this magnitude to curb her.
My inclination last night has this morning become determination. I must make the arrangements, but I believe that the Christmas holidays shall also give us the opportunity to ensure Pansy's reform.
If only she can avoid heaping more trouble upon herself until then!
