In other news…
Shirley and Margaret are putting their family back together, after Shirley’s obsessive self-doubt threatened to tear it (and him) apart. Nice to see him get his sense of humo(u)r back. It looks as though there will not be an interview with the Addams posted to the Times from Irkutsk, as Gospodin Karlov has yet to approach them for one; so you will have to be content with the oblivious Col. Davis.
(In my meaner moments, I hope that obliviousness catches up with him.)
Shirley had another conversation with the Duck, which cannot, alas! be posted because the Duck is well-acquainted with Shirley’s MacGuffin, which rather colo(u)red the interview. (Back-rubs are occasionally dangerous. Verbum sapientibus.)
At the request of M. Fontaine, Hannah and her fiancé Richard will be hosting “Gibbs” O’Neil and his moderately faithful sidekick Gabriel Rhys-Williams at dinner in one of the finest restaurants in Paris.
Hannah is desperately nervous about the whole thing, and wishes M. Fontaine had chosen someone else. Even though she thinks she understands his reasoning—she wishes he had chosen someone else.
And I still don’t know what poor Tamasi is going to do, assuming she can successfully play for time. (May not even be possible. Hoo boy. She doesn’t like having to make snap decisions.) She is in a right pickle.
