Tell the family I've been asked to work late tonight. It's a process that really must be overseen straight through to conclusion or it will all go pear shaped and something truly dire might result.

I know Mama will be disappointed, but it's only a birthday supper. After all, we celebrated so well last weekend for Our Lord's freedom day that I feel as if I've celebrated my birthday already.

(I expect I may be very late. Tell her please not to wait up.)
