Ah, Wilhelmina. Yes, I know she's found herself feeling pulled in all directions at once, as one does here. But it's not set her back, I don't believe.

Whenever we've been together, she's been full of stories of this thing and that her pupils have done--or the creatures. Being handled does stress them, and not infrequently they show the strain of it.

If you'd like to bring her along at tea time, please do. Or we could invite her next time if that seems better.
