     Henry stumbles away from Hendrix's cabin door. He didn't mean to eavesdrop, yet he couldn't resist when he heard the name 'Tricks.'

     "Come. I have a bedtime story for you." Caspian's voice wafts from the door like the smell of Hugo's spiced sausages wafting through the Skylark.

     Henry's nerves snap at the sound of rustling bedsheets. What could they possibly be doing?

     "There was a woman by the name of Ingrid Linnet-" Henry stops listening and grabs onto the ship's railing.

     "It can't be. There must be another reason-" Henry whispers to himself. There was no denying the truth. His mother, Giselle Linnet, was Ingrid's older sister. And Caspian Wainwright is his cousin.
