Private message to Lizzie Vaisey

[alt_daphne]

Liz, thank you so much for sending along your planning notes - and the photographs! I can't believe how big Rowan is now. Time certainly flies, doesn't it? Though not fast enough for my taste, these days. Now that the relief of gaining the Lord Protector's approval has subsided, I'm thoroughly anxious that he might change his mind on a whim. That's why we're in such a rush, you see, and for no reason other than that. (Though, to answer your question: We'll see. It depends quite a bit on what the Lord Protector wants, of course, but I hope that He lets us have a few years alone as man and wife first before insisting on sprogs.)

Anyway, I've already put in an order with Toothsome. They did such a splendid job at the party that I'm sure they're up to the task. That's the nice thing about marrying a council wizard - you can get anything booked at the last minute. The situation at Dover does make things a challenge, but we'll manage somehow!

Do you think Sam will be up to attending? I'll invite her either way, of course. I should firecall her mother and catch up.

Sorry to make this short, but I'll send a proper owl soon. Give Rich a poke for me!

Take care,
Daphne
