Nova,
I would never turn down a visit from my sister, no matter how short the notice is. Of course you may come tomorrow, if you don't mind waiting until after 4 o'clock so that I've finished with work for the day?
I'm afraid on such short notice, however, it would be unreasonable of me to ask my wife to make plans elsewhere — but if you would prefer we could visit in the garden behind the house? I don't think Melody would be at all offended. Or, at any rate, I shall tell her we mean no offense so often that she'll eventually believe it.
