Lily: Morning Darling, in case you still read it early enough: the Hobbs will be delighted if we two popped in on them this afternoon. 3 pm. Will you be able to make it?
Lily: Of Mash... I think I've developed a cold! Terrible. Have already let Rita know that we wouldn't be coming. Sorry if it's disappointing but we'll see them next week anyway.
Mash: Just read your messages. Poor you! Hope you have enough gripostat in stock! I wouldn't have made to the Hobbs today anyway. Our meeting in the Schlosscafe took longer than usual. Nothing spacial, just usual bantering.
Mash: I hope you'll recover in no time!
Lily got sick and could not come visit Rita.
