Glendower? Most unfortunate. Lovers' quarrel, perhaps?

Certainly, happy to oblige.

Dined with Narcissa in New London. Alhambra, around eight. Returned to Manor about, oh, 9:15 or so? Fire chats with Stephen re: disruption to Cornish labour caused by last week's earthquake. We spoke for perhaps thirty-five minutes, from half nine to just after ten o'clock. Then fire chat with Crispin on reparations to the three communities that suffered irreparable damages. Planning a trip for the Minister to show concern on their behalf. That must have been another twenty minutes, I would say. Yes, we finished around half-ten.

Thereafter .... Well. Payed a visit to Narcissa before she turned in for the night. Need I continue?

No need.

Will seek corroboration of details separately from each of those you've named.

Doubt we'll need to trouble you further.

Unless you wish to offer information to assist us re. RR's history, motives, habits.
