Jordy Wade, alone, how could he deal with Marcus Parker's four children? Those four siblings would definitely band together against Jordy Wade, and when that happened, Jordy Wade's days would plunge back into turmoil.
Celia Wade didn't feel at all that she was thinking too far ahead.

Celia Wade felt that it wasn't quite right for them, as outsiders, to be eating when the young lord and lady had just arrived.
