Betsy is brought into the Nottingham Hive as a nibble for Baroness Ermondy. Cinjin Theris would never allow the same woman to feed the Baroness twice, but with him out of the hive Dimity Plumleigh-Teignmott (as Mrs. Carefull) brings Betsy to the hive queen. The queen is impressed and requests Dimity find a position for Betsy in the household. Not long after Betsy becomes a regular nibble, the baroness stops feeding daily and only sups when she's hungry - which was a good sign that she was calming down. 
When Theris locks Betsy in a closet, causing her to be late for supper, the baroness starts yelling until Dimity comes down. The baroness' concern for Betsy, in addition to a listening ear from Dimity, a new dress, and a promise of an interesting party upstairs, tempts the baroness to come aboveground again. Once she has rejoined her hive she officially makes Betsy a drone.
