No matter what s happened between you and Mr Lane we will always remember the kindness he s shown us How about this you give him a call see if he has sometime Your father and I want to invite him over for a meal to express our thanks
Cyril nodded in agreement Yes we re planning to invite Mr Lane out for dinner Come to think of it it s been years since I last saw him
Shaun used to be Cyril s student back when he was Dwight and Cyril had always thought highly of him Since Shaun had done a lot for the Lincoln family this dinner was the least they could do

No need to invite Shaun to dinner He helped because it s what he should do As long as our family gets through this safely that s all that matters Madeline said happily
