EDGAR. You couldn't even owl me to tell me?? What about Mother and Dad? Why didn't they tell me when it happened? It's been a whole weekend I've had a nephew and I didn't know until four days afterwards?! EDGAR!!! I'll bet Ludo and Otto knew before I did and they're not even FAMILY! Oh, I hate you Edgar! And if you see Todd, tell him I hate him, too!

Don't be upset Amy please! I thought Mum owled you about it but she's been so busy making sure our flat is safe for Patrick that it must have slipped her mind, and you know how Dad and Todd are with, well, everything. Besides, you're probably busy with all sorts of seventh year things like I was this time last year and don't care about something silly like a baby though you should because he's going to look up to you most of all, Todd's children being vicious little monsters who pull my hair and gnaw on my fingers and I do not want my son becoming a Todd Junior!

Don't be cross Amy. And don't call him Patsy. Ted already did and I don't like it.
