Sybil feels as if she might choke again, both for the poor choice of jest by her Grandmother and Henri's reaction. Violet mutters something about having never been spoken to such, just as her mother points out that the joke was perhaps in poor taste. After all, the young Doctor is their guest, is he not?

The gaffes are put aside, but Sybil can see they are not forgotten, and she wonders how it is she might steal a moment with Henri to see if he is well.
