There is a reason why Saint Valentine is so very popular in France! Who does not like a handwritten note and a little favour at their doorstep, handed over by some pretty damsel-- or stripling? Hm? One should be willing to Rome very far indeed, to execute such a token with care to friends and loved ones, with all the haste of flying on a Cupid's wings!

Indeed, I wonder that everyone does not have a few recipients in mind already, for such favours? And to such an end, this question, most serious:

Is there a shop well-known for sturdy, pretty stationery and good pen-ink? Nothing pigmented, if you please!

If anyone knows of such a place, please point me in its direction. I'd thank you for the tip.

Ah! And for those of you who do not know me yet, salutations and introductions. I am called Joly, and I am a medical student, lately of Paris, presently as shell-shocked as the rest of the company. A pleasure to meet you!

Now, to end with a little seasonal joke, for the medically-minded among us:

Gapeworm is red, Cholera is blue,
Honey helps the lymphs, and lemon does too.
Thou are my love and I am thine;
So stay warm and dry, my Valentine!

It's very sound advice, at that. The winter months are dastardly.

Happy writing!

[Old habits died hard, and hoarding information as if it were her only defense was her oldest.]

If you like.

And if Eponine agrees, too.

Do you plan on seeing her again anytime soon?

Then it would make sense for you to ask her.

We haven't made any recent plans to meet up.

[And she's not exactly one to randomly call people up just to ask if they can hang out. If it comes up in a prior conversation? Yes. If she has a different, more pressing matter than could lead into it? Absolutely. But calling for the sake of calling wasn't her style.]

Alright. I will.

Until then.
