10.20. It appears that Karim is now a husband to a wife. Her name is Aisha and she has transferred her place of work from the country estate to my own offices. In short: I have a new maid.

13.41. Lillian has returned to work with her bag and some tale of her family's reaction. Apparently her aunt assumed that she is to be married and Lillian just went along with it.
