You're right, of course, Alice. I am trying to respect her choices, especially on something so personal as her own name, but it just doesn't seem appropriate to call a young woman by her surname. Perhaps I'm just getting old, hm?

It makes me a little nervous too, but I think if he'd recognised me, I'd be long gone by now, so that's some small comfort.

Please tell Ian I shall look forward to receiving his card, but that there's really no need to worry. Everything is very well set up here. It's not Moddey Dhoo, but it's certainly secure enough.
