It would be unfair, unjust, and untrue to imply I didn't have a best brother if I did, wouldn't it?

No, you're right, it strikes people as odd, but it's an old family joke, from when I was little. He was always the one who'd take morning chores so I could sleep in, and I started calling him my best brother for it. We had some trouble when we were both in school rubbing each other the wrong way, but that's long past. (The name, I should note, is a nickname: he's not been called anything else since he was about five and I was three. 'Calm after the', not 'Fury of', as you'll see when you meet him.)

I have added "Minerva, promising conversations" to my list for tomorrow.

As to Miss Calderwood - ah, just as well you're coming up here, actually. I've a thing or two to show you on the way up the tower. We can walk up together after supper, and I can show you the best staircases?

On the larger question, honestly, I wish they hadn't acted as they did. And yet, I'm the last person who can say anything about it, or should. I do promise to tell you if I've the least hint of anything amiss from that possible quarter (and while I don't think I've actually said it in so many words to Raz, obviously, him too.) He was so very restrained last time.
