The health of our Knight's father, Lord Gilbert, was failing. He had been taken to the infirmary in the county of the flat cliff (Plattekloof). Accompanied by his wife, the Dowager Lady Edna, who found it difficult to restrain herself from having a panic attack, which she was prone to do.
Sir Trevor, unable to to return to the castle in time to be of any aide, called on the service of his sister, the Lady Rose. Hastening to answer the call, Lady Rose went straight to the infirmary, to watch over their father and to give comfort to their mother.
It was cause for deep distress to see Her father lying there so helpless. She was glad when the opportunity arose to take her mother back to her castle. She left her father Lord Gilbert, in the more than capable hands of the experienced ladies in charge of the ward. After her mother was bedded down for the night she sent a carrier pigeon to her brother, Sir Trevor, informing him of the health of their father.
Sir Trevor , after reading the message made sure he would be able to see his father in the Infirmary the following day. Lady Cheryl knew her beloved so well, sensed that he dreaded seeing his father in that condition, and had tried to avoid it. Even though as everyone could attest to, he loved his father dearly and would anything for him. About this situation though he was helpless and could nought to alter it. It was this helplessness that drove him frantic, he was used to having the answers to most problems and being able to right them.
