Until the end of last month, the patronage application process in Frugality Cottage began in the sitting room , as you will be well aware if you had been attentive enough there.

Next Monday afternoon, I intend to leave a note here about investing in an intelligently kind culture. What do you already know about that subject?

As the discussions in the sitting room here are now exclusively for appropriately registered patrons, please ensure you have the most suitable patronage arrangement in place.

I do not intend to be in the sitting room, here in Frugality Cottage, beyond the end of this month.  I have more than enough work to do elsewhere.

I intend to be in the sitting room of Frugality Cottage every morning at around 10.30, if possible, until the end of this month. Please provide me with a few notes in response, here in the library, if you are unable to meet me in the sitting room at all over the next few days. I certainly hope you will be able to join me for discussions in the sitting room soon.
