Lethal Chef: Gladys tends to burn every meal she makes. She insists it's because she doesn't have any music to listen to while cooking.

Happily Adopted: Franny was supposed to go to another family, but the worker at the orphanage left her with Sina and Old Tom. When nothing further happened they kept her. She's quite happy there regardless. Zebediah is also adopted by Crying Alice's family, and is quite happy with them.
