 The introduction of Nefret initiates a running story arc of sexual tension between her and Ramses.This becomes an important part of the plot in a subset of four books beginning with "Seeing a Large Cat", coinciding with the introduction of "excerpts from Manuscript H" in which the younger generation of the family begins a parallel narration to Amelia's.Among the pitfalls in this story arc is the arrival of Sennia, a young girl initially suspected to be Ramses' illegitimate daughter with a local prostitute.
