That is a relief, on my robes - I still find it so hard to tell if I'm striking the right balance. (And Raz gets more than a little credit for the end result, I should add.)
I heard the overall auction went well, though I gather from a few bits of snideness that the items for the Rebuilding Ireland fund were not what they might have been. Something about how that set of charmed hair combs were rather second rate, and that set of serving dishes, especially. At any rate, interesting enough to see the thing for myself for once, and at least none of the difficulty of last year.
Thank you, on Mr Higgs - not a student who particularly stood out to me. And I suppose I can see about Ptolemy. Difficult place to be in, I suppose, for both of them.
As to Dolores, I'd not pick it as my first choice of hobby, but she does have rather a noticeable effect on my day to day life at school. (Raz and Tosha and I keep trying to figure out what she's up to there, and any further hint can only be helpful.) But yes, on seeing her with most of the Governors, and the oversight board for the YPL. (Though I noticed her giving much more attention to Strangeweale and Caldwell there than Whitacre, though he's mostly concerned with the budget, really.) I thought her attitude with Miss Robins quite different - and not precisely what I'd call friendly, either - though I suppose that's understandable.
On Chloe Selwyn, I could use your help. I've been giving her a wide berth, but really, I'd rather smooth things over. It's not as if the discomfort is doing either of us any good. Would it be better to send a note, do you think, or to find a moment to speak in person? (Not New Year's Eve, as I'm sure we'll both want to have our minds clear for other things, but I thought I might catch her quietly at one of the Twelfth Night events for a quick word.)
It's true I am still thinking over what she said, not just how she said it, and it was a bad few minutes. But I also see enough of where she's coming from. You know her so much better than I do, perhaps you'd know what would work best as an approach.
