Having reached a conclusion on how the Young Master of the St. Claire family will spend the beginning of his summer vacation, the Earl glanced at the sole reason for the decision he had made.
While Chesnut did not mind his wife's gentle caresses, it had acted out aggressively even before Yvonne could touch it.
This helped him understand that just like Fryght, even Chesnut disliked anyone with an etcher to touch him.
In the past, when he saw Fryght's indifference towards Yvonne which was unlike his energetic demeanor towards Howard, Rutherford had questioned his etcher regarding the unfair treatment.
He could see that Yvonne too wished to play with Fryght just as Howard did but his etcher did not seem too fond of this idea and remained distant from the young girl.
Facing his master's inquiry, the etcher had revealed how he liked the fact that Yvonne's body reeked of a different etcher's scent.
