I say, I had no idea I was opening a two-century old debate! It does sound well intriguing, but I've a feeling other subjects for research will present themselves with more immediate practical application, if you follow me.
I would like the name of the parish, but it's interesting you should think I miss my old life. I say, that's not precisely the case. Naturally one is not immune to nostalgia, what, for some of the amenities which were readily available outside the Protectorate. But I assure you, despite my current--disappointments--I am still jolly thankful to have found my true homeland. I shall always be grateful to my mother, regardless of her defect, for providing me a fine early education and many material advantages. But, in the end, we both knew there were more important things she could never provide. So it was only right to leave. Indeed, it already seems a lifetime ago.
I rather doubt I shall need more material before our return to school but perhaps if there are titles you think would make a good sequel to my current selections, you'd be kind enough to bring them? I presume I am to continue in your office during the evenings, so with your permission, I could exchange these volumes for new ones then.
