Private message to Mr Lucius Malfoy

[alt_percy]

Mrs Malfoy has asked me to inform you that she is accepting a supper party invitation for Friday next, and says to assure you that the two of you needn't arrive too early or stay too long.

She noted that Mr Reginald Branstone is expected to be there.

At her request, then, I have added it to your calendar.

What invitation is this? If it's something we've already rejected then in all likelihood there was a reason for declining. Besides, we've already accepted dinner with the Yaxleys Friday next. Why wasn't that on the calendar in the first place?

By the way, Weasley, next time Runcorn wishes to air his suspicions regarding the camp administrator of Driffield, shall insist that you take the meeting yourself. The exercise was nothing more than an entree to peddle his 'excellent opportunity' for development in Humberside. As if I give a damn about cattle in East Riding!

He's on his way down. Once he's gone, come and get these blasted ridiculous books of press clippings off my desk, as well. Find a shelf for them downstairs if you insist on maintaining them.

Yes, the invitation for the Yaxley has been accepted, but it is for Thursday night, sir. (I have the invitation here.)

I dare say very few care about cattle in East Riding. I am very sorry that the meeting with Mr Runcorn was so vexing.

The books will be shelved below the north window from now on. I will simply include a précis of the weekly updates with your regular correspondence summaries, but the books will be there should you ever care to inspect them.
