Oh no, that sounds terrible! As I read your letter, I found myself blushing in embarrassment for you, and perhaps I should not have been sent the plant in the way that I had. I do believe we are friends - we are in this together now - and please, if there is a way for me to help you make it up to your gentleman friend, I would be happy to help.

I can help with making a small bouquet of apologies, although I'm not sure a man would enjoy receiving one...

I did notice the new owl. I'm sorry that your old one wasn't very good at delivering letters, but hopefully your new one will locate your brother. Perhaps he has a spell as to make sure you don't disturb him?
