Warded and sealed:

Jer,

I read in the papers about Thecla and her friend; would she want to hear from me, or would it just make things worse? I do feel for her, but she has to know that I never liked Miss Brown very much. I'm worried about her. Thecla, like Alessio and Corinne, has always had that Gryffindor affection for hopeless cases. She needs to take care of herself. If there's anything I can do to motivate her in that direction you have only to say the word.

Speaking of Alessio, you will be relieved to know that Alessio did not marry an Italian child bride. He and Artisson-that-was have finally come to their senses. Rumour, or rather Nurse Turpin, has it that a wedding is in the offing. I wouldn't believe a word of it but both Yvon (Artisson-that-was, but I'm sure you get the papers in Pendle too) and Verity have confirmed it.

You should come to Londinium sometime.

♥ Rosalind

PS: After a year and a half of post-magisterial training, I have to say, this place is just as deadly as ever. I am resisting the temptation to get involved in the drama, because we had better drama than this when we were in school, as Yvon likes to point out when he's piqued--but some of the temptation is even more tempting than it was when I was here before.
