Ellory knew that there were certain expectations of her now that she was married to Uncle Lucius' firstborn. First of all, she would have to give Claude a son. Even better, two sons, to have one as a spare. She would have to be careful about what image she gave off to the world. Listen to Mr. Lytton's advice about fashion, do charity, be a perfect society wife. Ellory didn't think that she would ever be as accomplished as her mother had been and as Evelyn was growing to become. Thankfully for her, Claude was more laid back himself. He didn't seem to care much about the social sphere, about fashion, and the like.

Antigone's words perplexed Ellory somewhat. "About what?" she asked. Ellory thought that she already knew a lot about the family she was marrying into. After all, Claude was her nephew and his brother was her best friend. The Lestranges were no strangers to her. What more could Antigone possibly know, so as to warn her about it?
