A Night at the Opera

Lord Mikhael,

It was my Pleasure and Delight to attend the opera with you as always; the Arthinon season is turning out to be quite good, even with the defection of their songbird last year.

And it's always interesting to hear from third parties what Fëa and Luthien and their friends are up to -- quite the Belles of the Ball, they have become, despite all their poor family associations.

One hopes that within the next fifteen years the gossip-mongers will tire of looking askance at my wives and I, although it's almost worth the scrutiny to watch some of the stiffest of the old bloodlines forced to be polite to us lest they besmirch their own honor.

Again, your thoughtful invitation is deeply appreciated, as is the opportunity to spend more time in your company and Daniel's.

Yours faithfully,
Laurie
