[OOM: And none will hear the postman's knock
Without a quickening of the heart.
For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?
~W.H. Auden]
He'd just meant to take a moment to himself in the study. He knew he only had a minute at most before someone or other would be knocking, wanting to know exactly what was in the envelope he now clutched in his hand.
He's beyond relieved to find himself in Milliways instead.
Now he has all the time in the world.
Now he can take a seat at the bar and order a tea and lay the unopened envelope on the bartop.
Tea first, news later.
[ooc: Open 'til it scrolls.]
