I guess I've been thinking about the rose since I heard Arnold and Joan's conversation yesterday, and I've been staring at the Duke without realizing it.

In the old library we were discussing Cather Liz's movements. I did not tell her the details of what I had discussed with her.

I guess I could tell you, but I feel like I need to protect my privacy. Even if it is Cather Liz.

I didn't ask Mel, but looked at Duke and asked him. Duke opened his mouth with a wrinkle between his eyebrows, as if he was quite disturbed by Cather Liz's behavior.
