    Gregory,

    Father is quite insisting that all we girls—save Cordy, who has work and an engagement on her side—attend Cousin Bennet’s (how strange I feel calling him that; I have only met him a handful of times!) engagement party on Wednesday. True to form, he thinks it best we mingle with The Noteworthies; even if we can’t get a husband out of it, I overheard him saying, at least we’ll be out and about.

    Needless to say, I am hardly thrilled. While I do hear that this Miss Browne is taller even than I am, I should find an engagement party quite without mirth regardless. Please say you will come to lessen my burden? I suspect it goes without saying that Father will not be moved on the topic.

    Fondly,

    Desdemona

    Desdemona,

    I shall have to look into my schedule. There's been a strange influx of spiritual activity in Bath as of late that is requiring a great deal of extra work. It is rather interesting though, the sudden influx. I haven't seen one like this in quite some time.

    But.. because you ask and you already sound as though you're miserable enough, I will do my best to be there.

    Sincerely,
    Gregory

    Gregory,

    I had hoped that, as the head of your unit, you might be a bit more willing to delegate. At the risk of sounding vain, I should think the life and death of your favourite sister is far more pressing than this ghost or that startling a muggle or two!

    I do jest, of course, but I hope you are able to find time to attend. I should feel so dreadfully out of place—I lack both Bella’s grace of conversation and Cressida’s lack of care of what other’s think of her—without my big brother there to make sure I do not make a mess of things.

    Fondly,

    Desdemona

    Desdemona,

    Being the head of my division is perhaps the exact reason why it isn't that easy to just go to a party I'd rather not be at. Like I said, its been very busy with all this added work. It is also very interesting but perhaps I can talk to you all about it in person at the party.

    Just.. know that I will not be the life of the party by any means and I am not going to stop you from making a fool of yourself if that's what you chose to do. You do have to make your own path in this life, you know? But, should you fall, I will be there to dust you off and help you back up because what else good are big brothers?

    Sincerely,
    Gregory
