How are you? I hope your new husband is treating you well. I do hate to interrupt your thrilling busy life, but I write to you with news of a similar effect. It seems you are not the only Browne sister to remarry! It comes a little later than intended (what with my tribulations this summer in Mongolia!) but he has asked my hand and I have duly accepted, so I am now officially engaged to become Mrs. Cosmo Zabini. I imagine you might not know him well - his social circles do eclipse your own, I suppose - but he is an outstanding gentleman, as I am sure you will think when you meet him.
We have not yet set a date for the wedding, but those details shall follow in due course.

Loretta,
How are you? I had wondered which sister this announcement might next come from, but with Odira's current husband in good health, Prudence being Prudence, and your prospects utterly unchanged, I suppose it was always destined to be my turn. I am to be married again. It comes a little later than intended (what with my tribulations this summer in Mongolia!) but he has asked my hand and I have duly accepted, so I am now officially engaged to become Mrs. Cosmo Zabini. I imagine you might not know him well - his social circles do eclipse your own, I suppose - but he is an outstanding gentleman, as I am sure you will think when you meet him.
We have not yet set a date for the wedding, but those details shall follow in due course.

Calliope,
That is, indeed, joyous news!
You are, of course, correct that I do not know Mr. Zabini will (in fact, I do not believe that I have made his acquaintance at all) but I am sure that I will come to know him better in the weeks to come. No doubt Mother is beside herself with excitement at the news—she does so love a wedding.
I hope most ardently that Mr. Zabini will make you as happy as my own husband does me.
