Satterthwaite tells Quin the very long history of the family he is off to visit. But then their conversation is interrupted by the abrupt entrance of a member of the family. She is intent upon replacing her harlequin-style tea cups. Satterthwaite desperately asks Quin to accompany him on his trip, but the ever-enigmatic Quin simply leaves his friend with one word, “Daltonism.” What does that word mean, and what is the significance of Quin turning up at the tea shop on that day?
