Turns out “Dolores observing my classes” makes it onto the short list of least pleasant experiences in my past year. (Yes, despite fierce competition.) That said, I will manage, Tosha, don’t fret. And don’t plot dire things - yet, anyway - please. I'm thinking about the implications.
(I have Jelly Gums, and I’m about to go soak my disgruntlement in the bath while reading #15 - Major Secrets, which has me wondering about New York City, and has some amusing plot arc as well. I'll bring it Friday.)
First, Dolores is definitely expecting to be at the staff meeting. Very pleased - cat with cream - about it, too. Has all sorts of matters she’d like to discuss. I did try to get her to expand, but she didn't share anything new.
Second, it’s clear she intends these observations of everyone. She seems to be going alphabetical by class. (Forgetting that it’s Ancient Runes, not Runes. For all her lists, she keeps doing that kind of thing, had you noticed? Anyway, she said it’s Charms, next.)
I do intend to give Bathsheba and Mina clear warning, and you can guess the contents of the note to Raz and Pomona. But I’m not sure about anyone else (‘whether’ and if so ‘how’ and ‘what to say’), and would welcome your advice there.
Third, I will manage more details and a few faint patterns for you and Raz - just give me a bit. I desperately need to keep my patience through this evening, as she’ll be up observing tonight. (It’s going to be bitterly cold up there for anyone unpracticed with warming charms. Maybe she won’t stay long.)
