Enclosed is a small stick pin folded in a royal purple ascot. The ascot is scented with her favorite perfume of oriental spice, warm florals, amber, and cream.

My Lord Selwyn,Never fear, I anticipate the only true casualties this weekend will be an inordinate amount of wine and the Gringotts vaults of anyone fool enough to make purchases while in their cups. There are always a few that seem to stake their manhood on outlandish purchases. It seems a rather pathetic way to curry favor, but I hardly consult on the matter.
Do you think Mr. Prewett competition? Whatever could you hold in contention? I cannot begin to imagine...
In the spirit of your honorable sportsmanship, I will keep all thoughts on my father's ambitions to expand trade into the North Atlantic to myself. I am sure he wouldn't devise a scenario where he could measure his possible rivals against himself and his heir. Who would imagine such a scenario?
Take my favor, but do avoid jousting. Bloodshed at a Roman event is rather cliche. Perhaps, consider chess. Are you aware there is a single piece that outranks the Rook?

Mr. Prewett is privy to many things.
I have already warned him away because of that Watchword hag.
There are several things you've been 'privy to' that he has not.
Jealous?
