Speaking of which, Earl of Dalmo's foul mood gradually improved: "Coming back from Canada is actually not so bad. If my daughter makes her debut in the social season and her father can't be there with her, that would be terrible."
"That's true." Ellis replied with a laugh while smoothing down his cuffs: "But even if you really can't make it, there's no need to worry too much."
Earl of Dalmo frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I remember," Ellis said with a smile: "When you set out for Canada, didn't Sir Arthur Hastings send you a letter? The one sent to Durham that included a recent development report from the University of London."
Earl of Dalmo didn't immediately react: "Development report? I never read those things."
"I know you don't read them," Ellis couldn't help but chuckle: "But Louisa read it very carefully, and she even had the butler preserve that letter carefully. She mentioned to me that there was a sentence in it that made her both moved and amused."
