Alice, I'm thinking I'll come tomorrow after I've slept a bit, and stay the weekend if that's all right. We haven't decided yet, but I think Bea may come with me.
One of the things we've been discussing is whether it's any use my staying on at the Ministry when I've not turned up anything useful there in all this time. Everyone's being so cautious there these days, expecting someone will turn them in for putting a toe over the line if they ever do, even if it's an accident, so it's not as if people are leaving their correspondence or their planners on their desks or throwing their notes for next Tuesday's insurrection in the rubbish for me to find. It just seems as if I'm wasting time I could be spending in the camps, doing the real work we need to be about- only, I don't know, it may be riskier to give notice than to stay on. I've heard they investigate anyone who leaves a job there now, as if you might go off with state secrets and turn them over to some bloke who'd write essays in the journals and call them grim truths! Or summat. I'm not doing any more than thinking about it. For now, at least.
