Your Character
In Chapter 5, Campbell tells you to be careful who you talk to about your lessons, because servants see everything and sometimes they talk. While she says that most of them won't spread any rumors and appreciate how kind of an employer you are, Penderton is the exception. Campbell believes that he is all too keen to make your life harder, and she says that he can find a way to spin things that would make it impossible for the other servants to cover for you.

Campbell
When Lawrence and Penderton return to the estate, Campbell rushes to warn you about their arrival, under the guise of bringing you tea. Shortly after, Penderton interrupts you, Nat and Campbell, and tells you that Lawrence has returned home early.
