The amount of time she could spend under cover was very limited, and after helping Halim around town, and the stares she'd received at the Inn, she'd quite suddenly had Somewhere Else to Be, and dashed off. No doubt she'd left a strange impression on the Marquis, who apparently had also come to bestow his well-wishes upon the newly expanded family.
