Our interactions with Margaret Mary Siobhan Horan, the cook and Finial’s termagant wife, have been tetchy of late. The move to New Bellevue House has been stressful for her and she’s behaved churlishly. Recently, Leesa and I began a charm offensive to smooth the waters, so far to little effect. Mrs H, as we call her, is a brittle person in the best of times; I know this because Finial shares confidences. In an effort to bring her round, we gave her a gift for Easter.
