Bill, Beth has been a regular at the garden since summer. You might remember I told you lot about her and Mrs Parsons, back in early September. She was the one who told Mrs P how to get round her landlord (which worked, apparently, as she's not had any more trouble from him since).
Then I suppose a couple weeks after that, she came in one day and asked Dora to hold something for a 'friend.' Only the friend was actually a muggleborn domestic, needed a potion. We wondered at the time if it was a setup or the start of a trap. But we held the parcel for a couple of days, a woman came and got it, and that was the end of that as well.
Since then, she's helped us out a time or two with unruly customers and the like. She and Dora were getting quite chummy, in fact.
Come to think of it, she did disappear for a while, right after Bellatrix came to see Dora. But then she was back before we noticed it much.
Let's see. That was about the time that that trio used our place to plot their escape, wasn't it, Dora?
... And it was just after that that I went up to join Lucinda and John and theirs. And, well, then everything 'round here changed, as you all know. So I suppose we haven't mentioned her much in the last couple of months, but she's been about the place. She's had ample opportunity to lodge a complaint about something or other, if she wanted.
