I seem to have missed this altogether yesterday. I'm terribly sorry.
Yes, I should very much like tea with you. And Pomona, as well, but I shouldn't like to have the opportunity to see you slip by in trying to find an afternoon we could all three manage. And I'm afraid we've reached that time of term when we may be interrupted here at any hour. I've had such an uptick of business recently!
Would Wednesday or Thursday be possible for you, Aurora? (I expect you're away from the castle this afternoon.) Or we could wait for the weekend, if that's better.
I saw Irma trying to catch your eye at supper last night, but then I think Bathsheba steered her away. I had to get back or I'd have tried to intervene there. Poor Irma. She's not very good at disengaging from someone like Bathsheba when she's got going. And if she does try, it always comes across as irritation. Irma's always either stern or silent, which puts her at a disadvantage in social moments.
