Yes, they're beautiful! Thank you. I'm just charming the biggest, best of the roses to go into my hair. The colour's absolutely perfect for the sari I'm wearing.
I'm almost ready. Only don't come and collect me, I'll just meet you outside Bubble and Squeak, all right? In about 20 minutes?
They know I'm going with mates - which they think means Lines and Lav and so on.
Look, you know how things are so why do you keep making me point it out?
Anyway. I'll be there by quarter to five if I can get out without another scene. (Last night Mum was insisting that Mr Gowda's already got everything Pavs could ever want so why would she gamble that Mr Sharma might achieve something more with his life and--oh, it was just impossible. The aunts got into it and Nani had to put in her two knuts and Pav threatened to elope if she had to. Mum went positively spare and Nani said that girls who sassed their mothers in her day got locked in towers with no magic and--well, all we'd need is you to knock on the door and they'll all do their nuts. Honestly.)
So it's really best to just stay as far away from this mental ward as possible. Trust me, I'm doing you a favour.
Well, I met him (we went out and I chaperoned them) and he really is rather fit. And interesting. And if Mum and Dad are set on Pav getting betrothed then she may as well be with a young, promising bloke who can carry on a conversation and who's athletic and charming, instead of an old, fat, balding buddhi who'd probably crush her on their wedding night. I mean, honestly, he's really rather dashing. Sharma, that is. And moreso in comparison.
If we keep writing we'll be late. Did you still want to walk to the embankment on the way to Spence? It should be a nice enough night and we'll have loads of time.
