The story began in a busy train station. Tom stole a pocket watch, gave it to Nance, and then made a scene while she was hiding in the women's waiting area. Nance performed her role so expertly that the attendant provided her with a gorgeous crimson robe and hood when she asked for them and she went out wearing them. She rushed into a waiting wagon to take cover after being discovered, though. When she had settled and they were ready to leave, the bishop's carriage had already arrived. Now what? Nance performed her role flawlessly, charming the bishop and his family before fleeing. It was a fantastic beginning to a narrative that would advance at a breakneck pace. Nance grabbed her opportunities and started to advance in society. She gained friends along the way, but she was also followed by others who knew about her notoriety and her background. She was drawn to beautiful things because of the reassurance they provided and wanted to share them with other people. And she realized every bit of her potential.
