Changes on Rustum:
a Constitutional Convention has been in session although now recessed for the midwinter holiday which still involves trimming a tree;
Eva Coffin has died and Daniel, as he is known at the Convention, is white-haired;
his big house at Lake Moondance had been empty until his eldest granddaughter, her husband and their children moved in;
improved transportation in the lowlands has made it possible to centralize control over vast family holdings so that a unified household with domestic staff makes sense.
We have come a long way with the Rustumites but we in this Lancastrian household will go no further with them this evening. Instead, for me: our daughter's homemade soup and Stieg Larsson.
Ad astra.
