These SLANDEROUS rumours of me being seen at the lake with an unidentified gentleman are extremely exaggerated, and entirely SLANDEROUS to my REPUTATION, and also to my BELOVED Gilderoy's! I cannot believe that a person would fabricate this unbelievable story, and that people would BELIEVE such and unbelievable story, and that PREPOSTEROUS rumours

My dearest, I am, of course, eager to hasten to believe you, in this as in all things...

...but you won't say where you WENT, lovely...

...why?

[lilaclockhart]

Oh, ye gods, that Love can be so cruel!

[lilaclockhart]

This poor heart cannot bear it...

[lilaclockhart]

Mafalda, I am only a man...there is only so much a man can take before he is ripped from the earth in his prime by the grief of Love Spurned!

[mafaldahopkirk]

Oh Gilderoy, I have not spurned thee!

[lilaclockhart]

Lies! Sweet lies from a prety face!

My father's male secretary WARNED me this would happen! I owled him and assured him that, with you, it was - you would never -

- but now...

...Oh, Mafalda, how can I bear it?

[mafaldahopkirk]

Oh Gilderoy... my... my honour is... my honour is breached by an unseemly man who sought to throw me into the lake!

[lilaclockhart]

...oh!...

[mafaldahopkirk]

Oh Gilderoy!

[lilaclockhart]

I long for your sweet hand to cup my flawless face and tell me this will be all right -

- Alas! Cruel fortune! I am too late, too late! I can find no comfort!

[mafaldahopkirk]

Oh Gilderoy, find comfort in me?
