Laelia.
Perhaps you should spend the afternoon over here tomorrow? If mother complains, I shall speak with her. After all, decorations are not the only important thing about the holidays and I should like to see my younger sister.
Laelia, Lucia told me about the scuffle with the ladies and I likely should scold you for your momentarily impropriety, but I find myself unwilling to do so. Lucia has already mentioned those things to you and she does care for you like you were her own sister. I hope think Father would feel as if you have been reminded adequately enough and I know that you will be more careful in the future. It may have been a difficult year for us, but the family name is the legacy that Father has given us, and that is how we carry him with us.
This entire situation has reminded me that we should talk. You are twenty years of age and your birthday will be upon us shortly. Many young women are courting or engaged at your age, and I know that Father would want this to be the case for you as well. You are a beautiful and talented young woman that any man would be fortunate to call his wife. I know we would have both preferred if Father could be the one to arrange these things for you, but since that is an impossibility, I will do my best to retain his high standards for your match. And I wishI had askedRabastan Lestrange
Is there anyone that you would like to have for dinner? I can make no promises, but I should like for you to be happy.
