Miss Binns,

Like you said, it should all work itself out in the end. Sleep well.

Miss Binns,

I have a suspicion that your mother is correct. Have you considered telling her the truth? Or is she still concerned even after hearing it?

I hope your work hasn't been too affected, making appointments and all. I have a luxury you don't: the ability to work in complete isolation.

Miss Binns,

I assume your silence means you don't want to talk. That's fine. But you should know that my own friends are asking me about the article, and I hate lying to them. I'm not sure how you manage to do it every single day.

Lachlan MacFusty,

Slight complication to the plan. Don't write me again — at least, not for a while. I'll let you know when you can resume.

Juliana Binns

Postscript: I wasn't ignoring you. There was a blizzard.

Miss Binns,

I know you said not to write you back, and the first thing you should know is that I spent the last day intending not to, but I can't help myself. What's going on? What kind of complication?

- Lachlan MacFusty

P.S. And about the blizzard—I realized not too soon after I wrote. I hope you've been keeping warm.

Miss Binns,

It's funny you should say that because it almost sounds like you're threatening me.

If not your house, mine. My floo is open.
