Minnie on the other hand is making social connections and getting new work as she becomes known in London. She has two appointment books, one the "chuppointment" book for her everyday activities and calendar, the rougher artistic sketchbook for the meetings that require subtlety and no mention out loud. The listing of her activities for one week could make even the busiest of person's head spin. She is buying and selling books, as well as, information. I adore how Diana Gabaldon finds real and applicable books and people to weave into the story.

The two largest developments in these chapters are Harry Quarry hiring Minnie to find proof of the affair between Nathaniel Twelvetrees and Esme Grey, and Mrs. Simpson turning out to be her Aunt Miriam instead of her mother.
