I don't think I properly thanked you for saving my life. It would be pleasant to see you, while we're both in relative good health, not recently reanimated, nor in the midst of mobilisation.
[He's grinning as he says this.
Smile turns more thoughtful.]
I would also be interested in your thoughts on something. I always hoped I would find my way back to teaching someday, but am astonished to find the prospect imminent--no less than three potential tutoring students all awaiting interviews. If any of the three do decide to enter such an arrangement, I would prefer to teach somewhere other than my home. I don't live alone, but more than that, it doesn't feel an appropriate or entirely conducive setting. I know you teach first aid classes, so I would be very grateful for your opinion and advice.
In any case, I would be honoured if you'd take tea with me at your earliest convenience.
