Re: Phone Call.
[Startled pause, and then a chuckle.] I assure you, my dear, I think very highly of myself. Perhaps Hell might be too far, and were I to expire I would probably surprise no one with my presence there. [Sobering a touch.] I had hoped my initial letters would reassure you and Holly. Damian is not speaking to me, and I hardly blame him. It was... at best, impolite to leave you worried. I do not like that you are at odds somewhere without friend. [Frowning.] There is some issue with my man of business here, that I am resolving, but I do not know why it would be of a problem there. I suppose it is not possible that you would go back and intimidate Foolish Me into proper hospitality.
