Thank you. Apology accepted, of course, now that you have properly accepted mine. The flowers are lovely, of course, and completely unnecessary, you charmer.
I would love to go for tea with you, however I must show my husband the respect he deserves and request his permission. I fear he may still have some lingering feelings of distrust.
I must admit, reading your owl did bring a certain degree of relief. I was quite upset with the idea that I had damaged our friendship irreparably. It would make family functions unsufferably tiresome.
