- After the craziness of Bellingham's search of the house, Becky sends Isabel to get Lady Seymour to assist Madam, who's basically falling apart. Once Isabel gets there, she's surprised to find that Lady Seymour is actually super nice—she even offers Isabel something to eat, which is more than Madam has ever done for her.
- Isabel describes the scene over at the Locktons', and while Lady Seymour isn't exactly surprised, she seems pretty calm. She writes a note for Isabel to deliver to the lawyer's office and another to Madam, explaining that Lockton will soon be released. Apparently, Lady Seymour's got connections and is pretty powerful for someone Madam desperately wants dead. She offers Isabel more food and a glass of milk before she leaves.
