Well...that was an interesting birthday. Remind me next year to not let Papa take me out for it. I think the waitress was going to smack him.

Oh and Happy early Birthday Amelia and Alfred. Amelia, I won't be able to come to your party this year, but I sent you an owl instead.

[It should arrive soon, containing a pile of french pastries and a special quill and ink set that writes in rainbow colors]

Your papa is so funny. I can't wait to get your present!

[Guess who forgot to send one out for Maddie? GOOD FRIEND HERE.]

[gloriousandfree]

Funny is not the way that waitress would put it but I'm glad you're amused. I'm sure you'll like it.

[ladyliberty]

You'll totally like your present too! [After she picks it out.]

[gloriousandfree]

I'll tell Papa to send it along if you send it after the the end of the week. I'm going out of France for a bit.

[ladyliberty]

Where're you going?

[gloriousandfree]

Italy actually--but don't worry I'll have my journal.

[ladyliberty]

Oooh, Italy! Ugh I'm so jealous Maddie! All the best guys are Continental.

[gloriousandfree]

I'm not going there to look at guys!

[ladyliberty]

Well sure, but that doesn't mean you can't do it in the meanwhile.

[gloriousandfree]

I think I'd get the scolding of a lifetime.

[ladyliberty]

Just for looking?

[gloriousandfree]

...Well no.

[ladyliberty]

Exactly!

[gloriousandfree]

Okay I might look.

I suppose you'll expect a full report when I get back to school.

[ladyliberty]

You know I wouldn't say no!

[gloriousandfree]

As if it wouldn't be the first thing you asked

[ladyliberty]

Because I care about you and want you to be happy!

[gloriousandfree]

And want details.

[ladyliberty]

Well you have to think of what I'm going through over here. While you're gazing at all that fine Italian man meat, I have to make do with English boys.

[gloriousandfree]

There's nothing wrong with English boys Amelia

And we have italians at Hogwarts don't be so silly

[ladyliberty]

They're all right but on summer hols you really want to go for the best!

French because even French is better than English.

[tomatatas]

All sensible waitress' want to slap him. It's his own fault.

French

[gloriousandfree]

Chiara! Really, he is usually more well-behaved.

French

[tomatatas]

Is he? I've never met this well-behaved person you speak of. Where does he hide?

French

[gloriousandfree]

He only shows up around the very young or the very old. And just occasionally his daughter.
