A few days later, Elizabeth left on a lengthy vacation with her parents, 
jumping from one New Atlantis clave to another in the family's private airship, 
working their way across the Pacific and North America and finally to London 
itself, where they settled in for several months. In the first few days, Nell 
received one letter from her, and Fiona received two. After that they received 
no response to their letters and eventually stopped trying. Elizabeth's name 
was removed from the Supplementary Curriculum plaque.
