Back in Lockwood, Julie walked the busy road of the market with her family. It was a beautiful day, so the Chambers decided to spend time together before Reed and Caleb would become busy with work.
Julie walked beside Eleanor, watching as her father and uncle bickered about the scent of fish.
"We can never be secretive when those two are together," Eleanor sighed.
"Uncle Caleb does tend to enjoy a fish lunch. I believe he did it on purpose to annoy my father. We shouldn't get too close to him since it is an awful smell," Julie said, fanning her nose.
"It is, but we mustn't say anything to join your father in teasing your uncle. Simply remain behind your uncle. Now that we are alone, I have something I have been meaning to speak to you about. I heard from the queen that you are to be introduced to the count," said Eleanor.
