I just got word about your family.

I don't know what I can say.

Horace and Olivia -- They're just a year older than Laurie, you know? I remember they'd always take the same two chairs in the library and get shushed for laughing all the time.

It's

It's awful and I'm sorry.

Look.

I had to do a lot for the memorials, yeah? After the battle. And if you need any help with that, any help at all, you just say, and I'll help. If it's not overstepping. I know family is its own thing.

I'm so sorry, Linus, mate.

Thank you, Ernie.

There is something you could do that would be helpful. Could you enquire as to whether anyone has yet informed my sister about

everything

?

She should know. If she doesn't, I shall have to write her. Oh, Merlin.

I will find out for you. Right away.

Honestly, mate, the rest of it can wait. It can. Promise.

And once you have a clearer idea of what's going on, we'll sort it out.

Hey. The answer is they haven't notified her.

Now.

You've got some choices, way I see it. You can tell her, right out. Or you can have the officials get the tough stuff out of the way now, and tell her, just the facts, so she knows, and then you can write her when you're ready to talk about what to do about it. Either way, she'll find out.

No right or wrong answer here, man. Just whatever would work best for you.
