My sincere apologies for the delay in today's poll. There were . . . unfortunate matters to attend to. On that note, Miss Bellcourt will not be arriving until perhaps later this evening; she is resting, but quite well. I will be more than pleased to bring her your well-wishes, if you so choose.
That said, if you would try to refrain from use of email or phones today, she would very much appreciate it. She is very much looking forward to the successful conclusion of her game and her plans, not to be derailed by . . . strange nonsense. That will be final.
Poll Please enjoy this morning's breakfast, a traditional-style buffet with your choice of eggs, bacon, fruit, and various pastries.
