Well, I beg your pardon but I hope I bally well never do anything like that again--and certainly not deliberately! If it's a choice between writing an essay and spending half the day in the Hospital Wing while Matron tries to figure out what's wrong, and all the while quite unable to keep anything settled--no, thanks, I'll take the exam, what?
To say nothing of the inconvenience it caused everyone else.
Now, if it's for one of Madam Umbridge's sessions on the proper way to place one's boot-heel on one's servant's spine.... Then it might be worth considering!
But I say, I hope you're not trying to say you two had something to do with my difficulties? I can't think how you managed to slip something like that into my tea, what?
As for capital.... Chaps, if I had full access to my accounts, I'd be more than willing to contribute. (No, I know you weren't asking, precisely.) Sorry to say that even with full control, I shouldn't think I'd be able to meet your need as a sole investor, what. Though I'm sure among several of us we might be able to manage it. Perhaps if you took up a collection?
