Parents will be parents, I suppose!

You keep saying that I might find you silly or inexperienced but the truth is I would rather call you wise - you are very good at saying true things for someone who has only just begun thinking about marriage! I am not that much older than you, but I definitely was not so clever a few years ago.

Yes, I wonder if we did meet at the Sanditon! What did you make of the unusual dance cards? I found that - leaving myself in fate’s hands for once - good fun. I hope you were not disappointed in any of your partners!

And I would love to hear more about the British season, if you are so kind. If there are any forthcoming events that absolutely must be attended (or are better off missed) you must tell me, in case the tea leaves neglect to warn me! (I also wonder if you know anything about any renowned Seers in this country? I don’t know if there are any in society, but I would be glad to be introduced to them.)
