E. Selwyn,

Congratulations. They're not as nice as your usual, but I felt that I ought to send something. I hope to see you after your honeymoon.

A. Pettigrew

Attached is a small package of mid-grade cigars.

To My Most Esteemed Quidditch-Playing Acquaintance,
(In fairness, the only Quidditch-Playing acquaintance I've enjoyed a full conversation with),

I'm not sure how to feel about your congratulations. Letters are such inadequate conveyors of tone, so I can't tell if you're teasing me or being sincere (and don't know which I would prefer). I do appreciate the cigars, though — being on the receiving end of gifts is a delightful role reversal from my usual habits. I would send you something in exchange, but nothing in Beijing fits your aesthetic, and I would never stoop to sending an ill-selected gift. I'll have to repay the debt when I return to England. If I forget, perhaps you'll have to find a creative way to remind me.

E. Selwyn,

The trick is to merge teasing and sincerity.

I'm sure I can come up with a method of reminding you if you happen to forget. When should Britain expect to be graced with your presence once more?

A. Pettigrew,

Saturday. We're attending the gala at the new gallery. One must be seen, or so I've been told.

Unfortunately my calendar doesn't have any of your sorts of parties coming up. Under normal circumstances I'd correct that by throwing one myself, but I haven't exactly worked out the logistics of it given my change of circumstances.

E. Selwyn,

Well, you shall have to let me know if and when you figure out logistics — enjoy the gallery opening et cetera. I'll be doing the whole "Quidditch-playing acquaintance" thing we do in the off-season, I believe.

A. Pettigrew,

Missed you last night. I arrived late, so missed most of the real fun. Am I really going to have to throw a party in order to get you alone?

Not to say I wouldn't. I think you're worth the hassle.

E. Selwyn,

I was disappointed not to see you last night; a party would make it up to me, if you're so inclined.
