Daphne's advice about lying helped. She says to always mix it with a little bit of the truth.

It sounds like it's quite scary, in addition to being quite impressive. But that might be just what we need.

I've been ordered to sleep, and I really am tired. As soon as I change my sweaty nightgown I think I'll close my book. (Too bad you can't change it for me!)

Goodnight love. Kisses.
