Their daughter Lapricia however is enjoying afternoon tea with Augustus Albe in the Gwair-on-Wye market cafe. Augustus is wisely ignoring the dog Sennacherib which has fixed him with the evil eye.
He has already learned that his companion works as Chief Consultant Metallurgist at the Borders School of Blacksmithing, and that her main interest is in Copper-nickel alloys.
When she tells him that her uncle is Alphonse, the taxidermist, he wonders if he should volunteer to take Sennacherib for a stroll. However he doesn't have Alphonse's address.
