In the meantime, he set his sights on other matters. Like helping with the festivities! All he had was a washboard a cleaner had dropped, but running two sticks against it, he allowed Maribelle more music with which to dance to. Besides, it gave him an excuse to get out of manual labour of unloading all those boxes.<br/><br/>However, now that Cecilia had returned, Edmund seriously had something in mind to speak to her of, but it'd be rude to leave the dancer hanging like that. So he raised a stick in the air, and tried to wave the noblewoman over, as if to join the dance.
