Course I meant it, Dora. You've made the place a genuine success as an informal pub; time to use that cover to conceal some real mischief and take the next step.

As for where I've been, I said I would be talking to Turner and I have done. We've got some ideas about getting more people out of the camps - and wands, too. From inside the wards, since it'll be six months before we can meet Aleks again.

I can head down to London tomorrow - I'd love to stay at least for a little while. Bill, if you're able to stop in at the shop this week, we could talk some about Turner's and my ideas. And ways to reach those Muggleborn railroad blokes, too.
