I'm sorry to have cost you sleep. I don't wish you to worry; I know it's a big decision but everyone here has been extraordinarily kind, much more than in France, even, what?
I say, I'm well glad that you don't think it ought to matter. But we should perhaps talk about it more when we're alone, what? So we can plan properly.
The thing is, I know that going back would be the simple thing to do. But one feels one can make a difference here, what, where there is little one could do on the Continent that seems of any consequence. Or at least in comparison to the possibilities here, like Mr Rosier outlined.
Besides, if I stayed, perhaps you shouldn't have to feel so alone all the time, even among your family. Even if that's the only difference I do make, what, it seems like that ought to be worth the sacrifices.
Oh, I say, if you're going to see your Aunt, I wonder if-- Sorry, nevermind that last. I had a thought about your Aunt but perhaps it's not altogether prudent, what?
I'm not sure living among unicorns is an entirely practical solution, however, what? But you're of use to me, anyway, and I can well see how you'd be of use bally well anywhere you like. I think there's loads to be said for someone who's strong but kind, thoughtful, serene and calm. And you are all that, dearest. I suppose you'd have to be, with your mother being, as you said, how she is. You'd come out of it either remarkably stalwart or completely barking, what?

Speaking of which, how bad has it been?
