Such advice will be incredibly helpful, thank you again.
I didn't know you were right across the water! Perhaps we can arrange a visit on our way home. I hope you don't mind my asking, but why did your family decide to settle so far from your previous home? Was it because of the scandal?

That's wonderful. I'm happy to hear your daughter is doing well. My sister, Margaret, has a son who was a darling at that age. Now he's nearing two and gives everyone a run for their money! Such is the way of life, I suppose. All babies must become balls of high energy at some point!

I shall mention it to Reuben. Perhaps we can make a trip to some vineyards. Though, I will admit I am greatly enjoying seeing what Paris has to offer.
