Really, Miss Jones. We should have just a teensy conversation at some point about the best ways to introduce - and not introduce - a formal essay. Let's see: 4pm on Thursday should do, for a little reminder on formal writing.
Now, that said, I suppose I really must say that you have been some little help. After the meetings ran long, and my other business at the Ministry was less fruitful than anyone with good sense would allow, we did have rather a lot to get through this week. And I do appreciate your dedication to the task, though next time, we might manage just a teensy bit less complaint.
You do know, dear, that it's best to just push through without commentary, when you're asked to do something by another. If they have more responsibilty or authority than you do, they surely know best what's needed, and why, but they may not have time to deal with all the silly little trivialities that come up. I suppose you really did need to see Healer Kerr a few of those times, but someone who was really striving to be their best possible self might have pushed through just a teensy bit longer, or best yet, have avoided those minor difficulties in the first place.
All of that said, I will certainly be writing to your guardian and commenting on your work this past fortnight, and doing so favourably. Now, don't let that encourage you to slack: you still have a number of places where improvement is needed.
Now, as to this evening, I will certainly require your assistance, but I've got the rota of the necessary staff and HJC members all arranged. I'll need you to deliver notes to the people in question as they arrive at supper, and then we'll all have to chip in for the searches as needed.
