All the preparations proceed smoothly.  Take your time returning.  It sounds like your hands are quite full with matters in the countryside.  I wish you all the best with the young Lady Veloden. I'm sure that Lord Veloden will be ecstatic should a match arise out of this courtship.
I can assure you that everything will be in readiness upon your arrival.  You will hardly recognize this manor from the state it was in only a few months back.  Foreman Hobart has fixed everything in sight and then some.  I consider myself to be a meticulous man but these Mechanists put even me to shame.  New clocks, new lights, new guards, new servants, ah yes, much has changed."

"Lord Karras has sent word that he will be attending the gala reception.  He looks forward to finally meeting you. He has matters that he wishes to discuss concerning the exhibit items and a possible trade for a rare Durant.  Unfortunately, the original correspondence has gone missing in the library. But don't worry, it will be found soon.  Ah, that is the problem with new staff.  It always takes so long to get everyone up to speed.  How I wait for the day that these commoners are as loyal and obedient as Karras promises.  
One final word, remember that there is a Regency Council meeting 4 days after the reception.  Make sure to put that in your schedule as the new import tax will be discussed.
--Steward Duma"
