Eve heard what the constable said about the little girl's father and brothers being outside and it made her extremely nervous. She tried to use this time to rest up in case she was needed. The little girl came over by the table and Eve held out her arms to her and the little girl climbed up and sat with her. Eve looked up at Tarquin and nodded. She knew he would understand that she would keep the child back.

Eve engaged the children in one of many games that they could play to keep them occupied. She gathered the towns women to help in this matter just in case the others needed her skills.
