Constable Moore continued to work his daily shift at the gatehouse. When 
he came home in the evening, he and Nell would often dine together inside his 
house. At first they got food straight from the M.C., or else the Constable 
would fry up something simple, like sausage and eggs. During this period, 
Princess Nell and the other characters in the Primer found themselves eating a 
lot of sausage and eggs too, until Duck lodged a protest and taught the 
Princess how to cook healthier food. Nell then got in the habit of cooking a 
healthy meal with salad and vegetables, several afternoons a week after she got 
home from school. There was some grumbling from the Constable, but he always 
cleaned up his plate and sometimes washed the dishes.
