Alfred,
You can’t just start off letters like that, you know, without warning – I thought someone must have died.
I will admit that I have not seen her brother lately... not that I see Ari Fisk regularly to begin with. There’s nothing of note in the papers, though I’ve sent one along. Apparently he has left his position at Hogsmeade Hospital, though (suddenly, and perhaps for good?) – and seems presently not to be at home with his wife and son. I asked Konstantin Fisk, but all he said was that he was unwell. A man must be very unwell to just abandon their family and their household that way, but*
Is something wrong? I’m sure Zelda would know more than I do.
