I'll see if I have time to make a sketch of (your version of) Lucius. After what everyone else has said, it's just about the only thing I can offer to make you feel better.

There must be something going around. If you ever lurk on my blog, you may have noticed that I have just survived a really scary crisis. Who knows, maybe you caught your cold from the London Stock Exchange? Or New York? They do say that when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches cold, but I did not imagine it to be quite so literal.

Do look after yourself. And get lots of sleep. We're kinda short of geniuses these days.
