[Warded to Theo.]I'm headed to a meeting that didn't get added to my work calendar until the last minute, so some things I was having sent to the office are being rerouted to the house instead. Two of them are coming through owl post, and will need someone to sign for them. Do you mind? The other will be via a courier service, and won't arrive until after tea. I should be home by then, but in case I'm not, the courier will be wearing official green livery, and will present a letter from my client as proof of authenticity.
[End ward.][Warded heavily to Dora.]The book only lightly covers Central American flowers, so as best as I can tell, the flowers mean
