alt_daphneI had difficulty sleeping last night, but not for want of fatigue and weariness.
Let me just say: yesterday was by far the most memorable and enjoyable Valentine's Day I have ever experienced. And there's no hyperbole in that. Thank you very much for spending it with me, and for the beautiful (intentional!) red roses.
If it's not too soon to ask, do you have a general idea of what your social calendar looks like during my spring hols? I already have friends and family making a bid on my time, but I would like to spend some of it with you in New London, if you are amenable (with the understanding that someone in your position may have to break plans at a moment's notice, of course). My girlfriends Elsie and Lizzie have been trying to convince me to have a party at Spencer House, as well, though in my opinion it wouldn't entirely be in good taste. I'm still in school, after all, and... well, Raz hasn't been gone even a year. I think they simply want to get a good look at the place, which can be accomplished just as easily by inviting them over for tea.
I hope this Sunday has treated you well. See you soon!

Think your instincts are right re. hosting something at Spencer House. An alternative might be a party at Marlborough if you'd agree to perform the hostess's role. A statement of sorts. Would put things on a different footing. If nothing else, it will give the press a new angle to report.
(Had an owl from Maeghera West at It Witch, btw. Courtesy. Someone sent them a picture of your flowers. Didn't say whether it was taken at the florist's or at the school. Something to consider, though--could be your peers will freelance for the rags.)
If you like the idea, begin a guest list.

I do like the idea, in fact.As for the picture of the flowers, well, that's a relatively harmless thing to get a picture of, all things considered. But I shall ponder that point carefully when penning the guest list.
