Order Only: Mr Strangeweale

Sorry tea was so...tense, for everyone.

Did anyone change their mind about him? Or did you go through with it after all?


Or should I not ask?

Only, I've been thinking about how some people were against it, at tea. And...and I've been thinking about it. Whether there really was no other way.

The actual act did not go...entirely smoothly. But it was carried out this afternoon.

There really was no other way, Hermione. I don't like it, and I'm sorry, Justin--you made some good arguments--but we couldn't take the risk he would have stayed put if we'd moved him to Saltash or Aldrich, and we couldn't have asked them to take him in there as a prisoner, anyway.

Still. It was a bad business and on the whole I'm relieved most of you weren't there to witness it.

If there was any other way it's too late now.

Some of those women -- well.

Dunno. I hope it helps. Something, anyway.

What is done is done.

I would not choose to do it again, however.

There is something to be said for actively exploring other options so that we have more choices in the future.
