You've probably read that it's supposed to be three--" The UK system was alien and disorienting if one hadn't immersed oneself in it "--but they let you do four if you insist."

I was wondering if maybe you'd want me to put it off, get to work helping, instead of amassing more of a paper trail, especially back home in the States." Privacy was extremely important.
