Patrice
The healer is still coming, yes. I must admit, I am feeling very impatient for this visit. I believe I made it quite clear. He would not dare reschedule, despite the holiday.
Oh, yes. Mother and Father will be coming, as will Portia, Silas, and little Phineas. I'm sure that I told you, though my apologies if I forgot. I will admit, the holiday season seems to have me a little flustered this year. I even left my shopping later than usual.
But you don't want to hear about my shopping, I'm sure. I have already arranged everything with the house elves, of course, and dinner will be slightly early at five o'clock, if that pleases you. I have told Portia to come around three, though. I hope you don't mind?
