Back to the cottage.

You stroll back to the cottage, thinking over what you observed and learned at the faculty meeting. Some of the teachers, including the headmistress, are more formidable than you expected, and at least two of the three other men seem to be reasonably observant. While you are cautious by nature, you make a mental note to be even more so in the days ahead.

You notice the lights on and the curtains closed in your cottage. You smile as you open the door and step in, expecting that the obedient young Noelle to be waiting for you, ready for the next stage of turning her out.
