I'm not sure. Perhaps we haven't been speaking at all. Perhaps it's Johanna who's been speaking to you all this time, while your husband stews over some mess you've created. Probably borrowed a book and failed to return it. Or left some mess that her serving girl's incapable of addressing. Johanna isn't much for neatness, after all. And I am dreadfully particular.

Perhaps your company has been withheld for long enough.
