Private Message to Derwent, Gamp, Croaker, Vaisey, Pucey, and Alf Montague

Expect you got an owl like the ones that came here this morning. Rather out of the blue, this Protectorate Security Society. Not sure what to make of it. Are you? I mean, naturally I'll go along to tomorrow's reception, but I feel as if I must have missed some announcement about it in the news or at the club.

Montague, Derwent: do either of you know any more about it than the invitation says? Has anything been said around MLE?


Oh, also. Thank you for the condolences. Susan's been too upset to thank anyone yet, but I'm certain she'll manage acknowledgements once the memorial's happened this afternoon. To be honest, I'll be glad of the excuse to get out of the house tomorrow. Can't imagine she'll be there, but then I really couldn't say yet how she'll respond in any given circumstance. Suppose we'll see.
