TO: Zacharias Smith FROM: Wayne Hopkins WHEN: afternoon, Saturday 27 October
Zach, Did you send me a weird owl in the middle of the night? Because it wasn't Louisa, and it sounds like probably it's a joke, but I just figured I'd... check.
Assuming it wasn't you and you're not trying to leave the country, I decided I'd finally do this dinner party on Wednesday night. I'm about to write to everyone else about it but you're still not using your journal, right? I don't know how you feel about a dinner party with Hannah and Ernie and all but... hopefully everyone can make it and get along. See you then?
