So very glad to hear it was a more pleasant trip down.
Your mother is very kind and has an eye for books filled with useful remedies and forgotten applications for common ingredients. I've learned much from the books she's sent my way.
Yes! to Friday tea.
There are other investigations going? By which, I take you to mean others similar to yours rather than of a criminal nature. (One senses that MLE keep a full slate of investigations going into all manner of things.)
As for this gladatorial business, I read something about there being exhibitions of a semi-professional sort. (Almost anything would be more interesting to me than poorly re-enacted Roman duelling, but then I suppose mine is a minority opinion.) Is there to be a purse for amateurs, then, as well? I suspect you've the right of it when you say that will keep St Mungo's busy.
(Surely you could find something else to do in all the Faire if he really feels a professional need to attend. If it were a joust, I could understand the appeal. As it is, I believe I'd much rather suffer through an afternoon's tea--or worse, another waltz--with Mr Milland than attend that event.)
