Your company was delightful, the conversation even more so, and I shall hope the supposed healing effects of laughter will contribute to restoring my vigour even more so than the companionship already has. I shall look quite forward to continuing our discussions on the benefit of generalists (and allow me to once again implore you -- embrace your smugness in your accomplishment! You have not yet even shown me the cause of it and I can already say with certainty smugness is utterly warranted.) As well, I look forward to explaining more of my Art than the brief taste we had time for -- whether you take me up on the offer of equipping your tool-box with some more in-the-moment responses or no, I do so love a good discussion on theory.
I hope you will enjoy Narnia (and, again, you needn't read all seven -- must confess I often skip four and five myself on a reread -- but under no circumstance should The Magician's Nephew be read first, no matter what some editions might hold. Believe I mentioned, will repeat: banishment and ritual defilement is too good for them.) Do let me know if you've any trouble with the charm. I shall trust you to keep my secret there!
And now, I am off to attend to the remainder of my correspondence, and then to bed. Where I will no doubt dream of you and Bella trying on clothes together, and wake myself laughing again. (Do share those pamphlets. I haven't laughed that hard in months.)

Re: Private message to Antosha
Date: 2012-09-08 02:51 am (UTC)My thanks again for an utterly engrossing evening. (And for sharing your mother's scones; do pass along my compliments. Did I actually remember to tell you about the beignets in New Orleans, or did I only think I should? Either way, I charmed the recipe out of the proprietor of a small café in the wizarding Vieux Carré on one of my stops some years back; I will try to lay hands on it so you can pass it along.)
