Gallivan,
The cancellation of quidditch has come as something of a relief to me—living in Irvingly, I would not have been able to play even if the league were in session, and so at least this way I don't feel as though I'm missing out.
Not to criticize, but you are not altogether helpful! You did warn as much, though, and I must thank you for your candour. Perhaps one of these days we will get some of the lads together for a pickup match—if the fog ever abates. It would be nice to trounce you again on the pitch.
Yours,
C. Allaway
