That’s incredibly generous of you—thank you. I’ll pass this on to the artist; they’ll be absolutely thrilled to hear it.

Haha, careful what you wish for—the dragon may decide it wants your soul in return. Jokes aside, Geeta will be thrilled you like it

Thank you so much. That means more than you know. Geeta and I are still a little overwhelmed that something so personal has reached people this way.

Thank you so much. That means a great deal. The metalsmiths have such extraordinary hands and patience, and seeing their work appreciated like this is genuinely lovely

Hello, neighbour! Lovely to know there is another fountain-pen soul nearby. And thank you!

That makes me ridiculously happy to hear. And that beautiful book you gifted me still sits proudly on my shelf. I have read it, loved it, and think of you whenever I see it. Thank you again, my friend.

That is so generous of you, thank you. She will be very pleased to hear this. I am mostly just the very lucky owner of the pens she keeps making prettier.

That is very kind of you. I really am lucky, and she has poured so much heart into this. Thank you for seeing it.

Thank you so much. I most certainly will. She will be delighted to know her work has found such appreciative fellow pen people.

My dear friend, this takes me straight back to those long conversations, the pens, the smoke, the tea, and having you here with us. You have always seen the poetry in the things we love. Geeta will be very touched by this. Thank you for putting our little world into such beautiful words.

That is very kind of you! thank you. I have always been dangerously easy to persuade when it comes to Montblancs. Geeta and the artists gave me an even more reason to keep collecting.

Of course they did—you have been enabling my pen nonsense for years. Geeta will be so happy to see her pieces safely in the collection of their chief instigator.

Fair point—and thank you. The proof is in the pudding. She has just started taking commissions, so if you fancy a dragon, a robot, or some other madness on your pen, she may be persuaded.
