I don't spend time with people who can't manage basic courtesy and civility when they're speaking to me. Of course I don't. It's not difficult. Even Mr Dixon managed it and he's usually so very vulgar.
That won't be so very bad, then. I can talk to Mother, if it comes to it. It isn't that which has made me ill again. If that were the case it would have happened far earlier. I'm much better at defensive magic now than I was when we began.
