Basil,
You are being very annoying. Burying your face in books cannot have made you entirely blind (not yet, at least): so you must still be able to recognise a charming mien or an elegant manner if you see one.
I admit I would say I don’t envy you the noisy children – but then a goblin’s disapproving silence is rather more disconcerting than anything else I’ve ever experienced, so perhaps I would rather take the castleful of children, after all!
Wednesday it is.
